Verdict
A few of these have been expensive to follow and may continue to frustrate when next season kicks-off in due course. But Danger Over ran well for a long way in a better race than this at Newmarket last week and is narrowly preferred over Battle Chant and Jazz Messenger. Although Muchea is as tough as they come and has to be given a sound chance of at least making the frame despite being set to give weight away all round here. However, Danger Over has not enjoyed the best of fortune regarding the ground in his engagements this season as the firm conditions has only hindered his devouring stride when he has been asked to quicken. Therefore the easing underfoot is a godsend to this former Group-race-winner in France and he has an ideal chance to put his form figures straight today. The step up to a mile proved to be no problem to Danger Over last week at Headquarters and this ease in grade could enough to see him home this afternoon.
