Dutch Canyon is 0-26 but found only one too good over 3m at Musselburgh last time. Ange Des Malberaux was only beaten a neck by Dolly's Dot at Sedgefield and is a pound better off so could turn the tables. TOMAHAWK WOOD went close at Ayr when last seen. he’s a previous course and distance who acts on heavy going so looks the one to be on ahead of Arizona Bound.
