Verdict
It's difficult to have much confidence in any of this bunch. DYLAN'S CENTENARY gets the token vote on the back of a fourth in a slightly better contest over track and trip a fortnight ago. Mercury Magic did better stepped up to 1m2f last time and may figure while Dark Phanton is one of the least exposed as he steps up in trip. La Napoule and Lady Knight were both placed last season but have been in woeful form so far this year.
