Dalyotin is unexposed but has more to do than when scoring at Sedgefield in March though should again beat third The Paddy Pie. DEYRANN DE CARJAC (NAP) has slipped to a mark off which he should be capable of going close, though Somekindofstar jumped well when scoring at Warwick last month and both Relkadam and Ladronne are past winners here. Da Vinci Hand broke a blood vessel last time and Mongol Emperor is making his chasing debut but fellow novice Restandbethankful is respected.
