TALYANI went readily clear in an apprentices' event at York last week once given his head. That was only his third career start so there should be plenty more to come and, as he's avoided a penalty, he should take all the beating. Dagher is getting closer and his form stands up to scrutiny so he looks the danger ahead of Thirsk maiden winner Estikhraaj and Newbury second Toga Tiger. Subtle Knife is better on the Polytrack nowadays.
