Verdict
No Trouble gained his fifth course victory last month when he had DANCES WITH STARS just behind. He's no worse off at the weights but the latter didn't get the clearest of runs and can turn the tables. Dalvey was beaten just under three lengths but has since run very well over the extended 1m2f track and it wouldn't be a shock to see a form reversal. He had Zoom Tiger three lengths behind when scoring over the latter trip in December but Denis Hogan's charge will be a massive 14lb better off. Elzaamsan has been narrowly beaten into second in four maidens this winter, the last two when odds-on, and makes his handicap debut.
