Dalmo, a winner on fast ground at Newton Abbot in the summer, drops into plating company for the first time. He'll appreciate running in this class though has to concede weight all round and may find LOYAL MASTER too strong. Stan Moore's charge, twice a winner on the Flat, was making his debut for the yard when runner-up to Pass The Time in a Plumpton claimer last month and can improve enough to go one better. Khazium, who started favourite in that latter event after running well in better class, was beaten seven lengths into third and it's difficult to imagine him reversing the form. The remainder will all need to find plenty to get involved.
