LAMYA has taken time to recapture a decent level of form after a promising juvenile campaign last season. She has a good to firm success on her CV so will hopefully be able to handle forecast lightning-quick conditions and really ought be competitive off a mark of 77. In contrast, Danecase, fully exposed, is running to a good level presently and the booking of Crowley is a positive sign. Both Bounty Pursuit and Vegas Boy house a consistent profile and have respectable each-way claims, whilst the 'dark horse' of a competitive contest is the unexposed General Jack, a promising juvenile now making a handicap bow since being gelded and off a very workable mark.
