DANNICK recorded a good sectional when finally off the mark in good style at Lingfield 10 days ago and looks capable of defying a penalty. Finn Ironside has had excuses since a good third at Doncaster in the spring and was twice a winner off similar marks over this trip last summer, while recent C&D winner Gunfighter remains well treated on old form.
