Lady Amakhala got off the mark over C&D last month and is likely to make another bold bid, but DRAGONERA looks the more progressive of the pair. Ed Dunlop's filly scored at Wolverhampton in May before landing a classified race over 1m2f at York last time and there should be more to come over this longer trip from the daughter of Doyen. Catterick winner King Of The Celts beat nothing when winning his maiden at long odds-on and She's Got The Luck was well beaten when stepped up to today's trip last time, though Paul Hanagan prefers her to stablemate Layla's King. Cape Of Dance should stay the extra distance but will need to improve on her form to date if she's to figure.
