Dakota Gold came up the stands rail to beat several of these in a slightly higher grade at the Dante meeting 11 days ago. That was his fifth victory on the Knavesmire and it would be no surprise to see Michael Dods’ eight-year-old in the firing-line again. Gulliver seeks a fourth course victory but hasn’t raced since October. Adaay To Remember has a similar absence to overcome but is having only a seventh career start. She ran in just one handicap last year and won easily and, though 17lb higher now, was knocking on the door in Listed company in the autumn. However, she was beaten comprehensively by ASJAD at Doncaster last July and James Horton’s sprinter could be the answer to this if on a going day. Capote's Dream beat Mr Wagyu here last summer on worse terms and has had a pipe-opener so could go well at bigger odds.
