Both Poet's Pride and Dancing Rave won their penultimate starts but were beaten in today’s grade off higher marks last time. Fairy Stories is now 11lb higher than when scoring over the minimum trip at Nottingham last month and it remains to be seen how Twentysixthstreet copes with a penalty having won over course and distance on his handicap bow. But CHOOKIE DUNEDIN has won off a higher mark in the past and after posting a better effort at Ayr recently with Jordan Electrics behind, Keith Dalgleish’s charge may come out best in this.
