A handful of these are closely matched on today's terms. But the previous attempts of Dansili Dutch and Ewell Place at this track leave plenty to be desired and Dozy Joe is an unknown on this surface. Hail Promenader wasn't disgraced in an amateurs' race here in November and should figure, although DANDARRELL looks a safer proposition. He landed a handicap over track and trip at the end of last year and can go in again dropping down to this level. Wolverhampton winner Berkeley Street handles the track and could prove best of the rest.
