Dapper Man is beginning to drop towards a very winnable mark these days so any interest in Roger Fell’s gelding should be noted. ALBEGONE was ahead of the latter when they met here last week and that performance can be upgraded as Tim Easterby’s gelding did encounter significant bother coming out of the stalls. Not On Your Nellie is a previous winner over course and distance while Morty isn’t out of this if he can run up to some of his early season form. Thornaby Pearl has won over 6f around here and is better than his recent run at Hamilton suggests.
