In depth
Verdict
Danzeno failed to record a victory last year and the handicapper hasn’t released his grip over the winter but the veteran was second in the Portland here in September under today’s apprentice. Mokaatil won at Chelmsford in March but has struggled off higher marks since. The returning Magical Spirit has a decent strike-rate and had wind surgery in January while Lampang was poorly drawn when behind Aberama Gold on All-Weather Championships day at Lingfield. Edraak has taken a step forward this year but LEXINGTON DASH has run well on both previous visits to this course and he had excuses last time at Kempton.
