Danetime Lord won well last time and can score again at the main expense of Sir Douglas and Methaaly. The selection won quite cosily last time at Lingfield and there is no denying he is on a fair mark at present. He has a reasonable draw and the services of Neil Callan and he sets the standard for the rest. Sir Douglas is entitled to plenty of respect as he found the concession of weight to the progressive Lil Najma too much for him last time but he still ran creditably back in second and he should go well again today. Methaaly finished behind our selection last time but he was not given a hard race and he remains lightly-raced so he could be capable of getting competitive from a good draw. Littledodayno found her form towards the end of last summer but she is returning from a break and will find life tough from stall 10 so she is probably best watched. This is quite competitive but Danetime Lord had a number of these rivals behind him last time and he can win again.
