CANADIAN DANEHILL won for the first time since March last time out, and can repeat that success here, with the main dangers expected to be Rebel Duke and Garlogs. He's slipped down the ratings, but still defied top weight to win a similar contest at Wolverhampton last week. He's also got an entry for a better event than this at Great Leighs in a couple of days. Garlogs has won plenty of times before, but not off this rating. However he looks competitive at the weights as does The Tatling, who's not been placed on two previous all-weather outings. Rebel Duke and Canadian Danehill both finished well behind Luscivious when he was beaten into second last month, a result he's not since been able to improve on, unlike the selection. This is a class below that though. Plenty would seem to have chances in what's the best race on the card, but our preference is for Canadian Danehill.
