In depth
Verdict
Oh Danny Boy is improving all the time and can follow up his recent success, Zalkani and Glencalvie look to be the main dangers. Julian Poulton's four-year-old got up in the nick of time under Keiren Fallon to beat Lord Of Dreams at Wolverhampton last time. That looked a decent enough maiden and he could have got in lightly here today. Zalkani is a model of consistency and has to be considered a live danger on his recent third behind Priime Powered over a mile and half here last time. He is just as affective over this shorter trip and must be considered for each-way purposes. Glencalvie is in good heart at present having finished a close up third behind Dr Thong last time, just behind Zalkani, he has to be involved in the finish today. However Oh Danny Boy has more scope for improvement than most of these and gets the decision.
