Verdict
DALIANCE, a middle-distance winner on the Polytrack, made a decent start over hurdles behind Sea Lord at Southwell and similar effort here would probably suffice. Tom Scudamore appears to have chosen Milor De La Borie ahead of Keep The Cash but both need to improve and more interesting is Armedandbeautiful, a nicely bred daughter of Oscar who caught the eye when sixth at Towcester.
