DRAGON LEADER won a valuable sales race at York before finishing runner-up in a similar event at Doncaster and can take advantage of favourable terms once again back on faster ground. Action Point is a Listed winner with a stiffer task at the weights but Flaccianello won a nursery at Ayr recently with Love Billy Boy back in third and should figure again. Works Of Art faced a tough task in a conditions race at Chester last time and has plenty of scope.
