Verdict
DENTON looks an animal on the upgrade since his transfer from Australia and Jeremy Gask's inmate should complete a hat-trick at the expense of the potentially still well treated last time out scorer Tiger Dream while Merrymadcap looks best of the rest. Making his UK debut in a mile handicap at Southwell with limited success the selection then quickly found his feet by twice scoring easily in this sphere when upped to this trip. The manner of his last success suggests he¿s not finished yet despite another eight pound mark rise. Tiger Dream finally had things fall right for him last time when he scored when under a three pounds lighter load. His pilot is allowed to use her full claim this time, which almost negates the rise in his mark, and although that is a obvious plus he has a bit to prove on this surface. Merrymadcap has a good strike rate at this track but he might be a little high in the handicap and with little else on our radar Denton looks good to score again.
