Danimix sets a clear standard of those with experience but GHIZAO is an interesting newcomer who may be able to get off to a winning start with Yorkshire Knight another to note. Paul Nicholls's German bred gelding is related to some decent sorts on the level and, although it's a concern that he's not been seen on a racecourse until now, it would be no surprise to see him make his mark at this level. Danimix was a very impressive winner of a bumper on his debut and it's possible that the softer ground may have contributed to a below par display next time. The remainder are of little appeal on paper with the exception of Yorkshire Knight who represents a respected combination and last year's successful yard but the selection is Ghizao.
