Running Mate looks to have found his form again after winning a lower grade race over C&D last month and he can figure, while Misaro, Royal Acclamation, Lethal and Bold Diva are all regulars at this level and pop up in their turn. However, it could pay to take a chance on the less exposed DASHWOOD. He produced his best effort so far when fourth over 5f here in December and there should be more to come from Giles Bravery's colt now handicapping for the first time over a more suitable trip.
