Verdict

DALNESS EXPRESS has found only one too good the last twice now and gets another chance in this. Miracle Garden won at Kempton in March and can race off a lower mark on this surface but Tadaany would prefer some cut in the ground. First Excel and Viking Way have been thereabouts on the all-weather without winning while My Society has a shout if rediscovering last year’s best form and Red Allure could figure back at this lowly level.
