Verdict
Several of these struggle to get their head in front including Premier Sagas, Buck Mulligan and Zitenka, but Triolo D'Alene won on his UK debut at Ascot before finding the company too hot at the Cheltenham Festival though he has something to find with Bless The Wings on that run. Dinarius spread-eagled a decent field at Chepstow last month but the handicapper took exception to that effort and put him up 15lb while the front-running Fiendish Flame is 8lb higher than when beating Premier Sagas at Musselburgh in January. DAN BREEN has a touch of class and, though he failed to add to his tally last season, was only beaten a short head in a Grade 3 handicap at Newbury in March. He can come out on top here with Always Right's confidence probably suffering a little at present.
