There is nothing between DAKAR RUN and the equally frustrating Roberto Pegasus according to official ratings but we just fancy Jonjo O'Neill's charge to come out on top as the better ground is probably in his favour and there are no stamina doubts. Both of Daghash's wins on the Flat came on fast going and his trainer's novices often need a run while Spencer Moon looks to have more to do than when third at Fontwell.
