Mansfield’s recent placed effort here came in a lowly classified event and Santafiora won a classified sprint over track and trip in October. But DANDILION is preferred having caught the eye making up plenty of late ground after a slow start to finish second at Lingfield last time and may prove good enough in this. Puchita drops back down in trip still looking for a first win after 28 attempts while Englishman has yet to win on the all-weather.
