TAJANIS was no match for Sweet William at Doncaster on his most recent outing, but there's no shame in that and he strikes as the type to eke out a bit more improvement now switching to handicap company, so gets the nod to come out on top. Last week's Lingfield-scorer Major Major is up in grade but could well progress further, with Dashing Panther completing the shortlist.
