Verdict
Alibaba probably needs a bit further while Danzart will need to defy a further 6lb rise and a step up in grade if he is to complete the four-timer. HOT CHESTNUT (NAP) had to wait for a gap to appear at Chelmsford earlier this month but quickened well when asked and was going away at the finish. He’s gone up the mandatory 6lb but a double may be on the cards if he reproduces that form back on Turf. Cubanista has gone up 3lb for finishing second at Yarmouth but still makes more appeal than Dion Baker.
