Verdict
An extremely difficult handicap for punters to unravel but DANADANA looked very progressive when beating the odds-on Munbaher at Newcastle and looks just the type Luca Cumani does so well with. Sud Pacifique looked a useful prospect when storming away with a Doncaster maiden on his reappearance and Discovery Bay produced a very nice run over a mile at Newbury and will have come on for the run. Rutland Boy was an impressive winner at Wolverhampton in November giving every indication that he'll do well this season and he's on a fair mark while anything Tom Tate saddles here is worth noting and Defence Of Duress looked a fair prospect when making all at Newcastle in October.
