Lonimoss Bareliere, a 17-race maiden, left Dan Skelton’s yard last month and finished tailed off on a first start for new connections. Keepyourdreamsbig is a more interesting recruit to chasing having switched to the Twiston-Davies yard but it’s about time ELIOS D’OR, second in his last four runs here, was getting his head back in front. Maninsane can improve on his third at Stratford and Koi Dodville has had wind surgery since his latest third at Uttoxeter.
