DAGUENEAU has slipped back down the weights and just missed out over 1m6f at Nottingham last time. Ed Dunlop’s charge looks set for a return to winning ways and gets the vote. Both Berrahri and El Borracho ran well at Goodwood on their respective latest starts while Blazing Saddles finished runner-up on fast ground over a shorter trip here recently. Nabhan was well beaten in a seller before going close over hurdles but Dance To Paris scored over 2m on the all-weather track here at the end of last year and could be interesting.
