A winner at Bath last year, Danfazi is dropped in class but has a tough task on today's terms. Intense Feeling drops back in distance and can race off a featherweight with an apprentice taking 7lb off his back. But LITTLE BIG MAN makes most appeal as he won a seller over track and trip in November and wasn't beaten that far in a handicap last time despite finishing only sixth. Clapperboard is hard to fancy on recent form and Our Red Devil is quickly dropped into plating company having finished tailed off on his debut last year.
