DANEHILL STAR couldn't live with Roaring Ralph at Southwell on Saturday but there was no disgrace in that, given that the thriving winner was completing the hat trick. He meets nothing of that ilk here and looks a solid option in this selling handicap. Knightmare is feared most with this drop back in trip a positive factor, while Marinakis also merits respect.
