Verdict
D'Jango has come up against the in-form Minella Voucher the last twice but is creeping up the weights again. Ladronne looked in need of the run at Perth but Generator City has a bit to prove now and Midnight Glance has gone up 3lb for finishing second here last month. Bretney is still 10lb higher than when scoring over track and trip last December having finished second four times since. Representing Bob also looks high enough in the weights on his reappearance but should have more to offer this term, though a similar comment applies to TEA FOR FREE. The top weight was a ready winner at Huntingdon on his chasing bow in May and Lilly Pinchin keeps the partnership intact.
