A couple of these stand out at this level with HARRY MAGNUS taken to confirm last month’s running with Danger Alert. Charlie Hills’ charge found only the progressive Shaquille, rated 94, too good at Wolverhampton and looks the one beat. The X O has finished second in both outings so far without troubling the winner while Shot Of Love has switched yards and Doves Of Peace and Inspired Knowhow are newcomers to note.
