Horses that finished second last time have won five of the last ten renewals of this contest. DAHIK meets that criteria and has a good draw also. Roger Varian's charge showed plenty of speed on his debut when looking as though in need of the experience. The stable continue in excellent form and he sets a clear standard. Milton Road and Last Page were second on their latest starts but their form looks short of the level required to win this. Jeremy Noseda tends to bring his horses along slowly but he was 2-3 with juveniles last May in a change of philosophy. The Newmarket handler is a rare visitor here and that makes the presence of Kat O'Strophic all the more intriguing with a top rider on board. She is worthy of a market check. Tom Dascombe has won this on a couple of occasions recently. He has assembled a team of five for this with the stable jockey opting for Dragon's Tail. That could be a hint worth taking, particularly if timing the break better than on his debut to make the most of a prime draw.
