Danzart was a 66/1 chance in a Class 2 at Goodwood last month but led briefly approaching the final furlong so has obvious claims eased in grade. Mr Lauda is certain to improve on his run at Beverley while Secret Handsheikh won a small race at Bath when relatively unfancied, though will find this tougher under a penalty. Ballintoy Harbour wasn’t disgraced on debut at Thirsk but ANCIENT TIMES (NAP) travelled strongly at York until a lack of experience told. He will have come on a bundle for that and could be a nice prospect.
