This may well boil down to a head-to-head clash between two very likeable and seemingly progressive types in DANS LE VENT and Musical Slave. The experience of the former just tilts the scales in his favour especially as his Cheltenham conqueror has scored again. The latter of that duo should improve from his debut but that was several months ago and he may be lacking a little match sharpness. Plenty of the others will be running for handicap marks in the future although both Euxton Lane and New Quay are worth watching in the betting having shown some ability so far.
