Danehill Dante may do better now going handicapping but hasn't shown a great deal so far. DALIANCE should appreciate dropping back in trip and has shown enough to suggest he can win an ordinary contest like this. Oliver's Gold won at Uttoxeter nine days ago, though a 9lb rise looks harsh and Early Applause was beaten when falling at Perth. There has been little encouragement in the recent efforts of last year's winner Claude Carter, though he is only 2lb higher.
