The Darley Lama is the only one with racecourse experience but made little impression at Southwell last month. Dog Of War’s unraced dam is well related but Dan Skelton’s charge has already had wind surgery and wears a tongue-tie on his racecourse debut. STARSKY sports the same headgear but Paul Nicholls’ yard is in fine form and his 48,000 euros purchase may well prove good enough in this with Now Look At Me preferred to Pania of the remaining pair.
