Danzeno hasn’t won a handicap since June 2019 and is 5lb higher. Rebel At Dawn was only fourth when Glory Fighter won at Musselburgh last month and preference is for COUNT D’ORSAY. He has run well in both the Portland and Ayr Gold Cup recently and the yard is in cracking form – a drop back to 5f will suit. A fast-run race over this trip will suit Pendleton but the going may have turned against Call Me Ginger. Boundless Power was just ahead of the selection at Doncaster but is worse off at the weights.
