Daany won an apprentices’ race over a mile at Lingfield last week and escapes a penalty but ABNAA is preferred over today’s distance. A winner over 7f at Newcastle early last month, he beat Luscifer when scoring over track and trip last time and is only 2lb higher. Bobby Joe Leg has a bit to find with the selection but Coolagh Magic won at Lingfield on his debut for new connections and Always Dreaming finished a lot closer at the same venue. Light Up Our Stars and Queen Of Burgundy look best of the rest.
