There is probably better to come from DASHO LENNIE over this trip and he gets the nod ahead of Fox Journey. The selection chased home a rapid-improver in Fairbanks (winner again since) off this mark on his first attempt at 1½m at Leicester where he had a few of these rivals behind. Fox Journey also acquitted himself well upped to this trip for the first time at Pontefract and is likely to offer stern resistance, while Open Champion and Temporize both make each-way appeal.
