Danehillsundance is clear at the weights but the six-time winner on the Flat hasn't raced since well beaten over hurdles in May last year. Jack Dawkins saves his best for the Fibresand at Southwell nowadays while Yorksters Prince has failed to beat a rival home in his last three starts. VALANTINO OYSTER has a bit to find at the weights but scored over C&D in October and gets the token vote as it's impossible to judge the merits of Azrag, who makes his UK debut having won twice in Bahrain, and the remainder are even harder to fancy on today's terms.
