KALIMANTAN wandered off a straight line on the run-in at Taunton last week and that cost him victory. But he's clearly in good heart at present and, off the same mark, should gain compensation here having made the long trip up from his base in south Wales. Izzini rates a danger as she wasn't disgraced over further at Catterick last month and is a previous course and distance winner. Un Guet Apens and Dark Dune have been chasing but the latter's stable companion Getabuzz has his sights lowered and could figure. He makes more appeal than Just Cameron and Lucky Landing on these terms.
