7/2
Promising sort. 4/5, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Newcastle (7f) 5 days ago, forging 4 lengths clear. Well treated under a 6 lb penalty but so is Dartrey.

16/1
Maiden. 10/3, creditable fourth of 9 in nursery at this course (1m) 15 days ago, well positioned. First-time cheekpieces need to give him a bit extra.

1/3
Notably strong in the betting and powered 4 lengths clear on his 6f course handicap debut on New Year's Day. 7f should suit even better and he'll be hard to beat if coping with the quick turnaround.

Forecasts

Dartrey (1/3), Dagger Strike (7/2), Archangel Josepi (16/1), Sailor Batt (16/1), Somebody (18/1), Emilia Casanova (25/1)

Verdict

This will likely develop into a straight fight between penalised pair DARTREY and Dagger Strike, with preference for the former who bolted up over 6f here on New Year's Day.

  1. Dartrey1/3
