Alright Dai improved on his Southwell debut when second at Warwick in February but has changed stables since. Ballela Blaze and Phantom Gold were both winners between the flags earlier in the year with the latter preferred of that pair. Dontmesswithme found only one too good here two weeks ago but the Westerner gelding FULL MONTY is a half-brother to two winners and is likely to be fully primed for this.
