Verdict
Delightful Sleep scored over track and trip on his penultimate start but failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time and it could be a similar story today. Candy Kitten only won a maiden here in between modest efforts in handicaps and DANSILI DUTCH makes more appeal. The latter is upped 3lb for winning here last week but has scored off higher marks in the past and gets the vote to go in again. Khajaaly looks best of the remainder.
