DANSILI DUTCH steps up a furlong as she bids for hat-trick of course wins. A 6lb penalty is negated by Josh Doyle's allowance and she's expected to confirm running with Delightful Sleep and go in again. Mrs Micawber looks the biggest threat as she drops back in distance after making the frame at Kempton on her handicap bow. The remainder are harder to fancy though Monzino may do better back on this surface after a couple of outings at Southwell as he won over track and trip in September.
