DALAMAN can bounce back from a surprise defeat at Wincanton with the extra half-mile in his favour. Nemean Lion could make no impression last time at Doncaster but this looks an easier test. The Dawn Man still has time on his side while Atlantic Grey was facing a steep task at Cheltenham having been placed here and at Fakenham before that. Sedgefield third Red Ochre may do better now going handicapping but Along Came Theo was beaten in a lesser grade at Hexham last month and is now 4lb higher.
