Verdict
Yes Daddy beat Mr Lando at Southwell three weeks ago and the latter beat A Little Bit Dusty by 10 lengths at Huntingdon earlier. Bob Stephens' charge has every chance of going in again. Brinestine was still going well when hampered and unseating his rider at Newton Abbot last week while Vaihau has shown more than enough to suggest he can win a race like this. Fantasy King probably still has too much weight, however, and Relentless Pursuit has a bit to prove now. Gud Day is only a plater and Larmor needs to improve again but there should be more to come from REGULATION. He's run well on the Flat since finishing fifth at Leicester in December and today's quicker surface will aid his cause.
