Genuinely fast ground conditions have brought about the best in DENZILLE LANE (NAP) and with a handy weight-for-age allowance in his favour, Mark Johnston's three-year-old is anticipated to continue his winning run. Mime Dance and Living Leader are previous course and distance winners and both are worthy of respect while Alcatraz bolted up in a maiden here in May, albeit on much softer ground. Sarangoo ran no sort of race at Chester last month and is reluctantly opposed on going that will be lively enough. Salisbury specialist, Cincuenta Pasos is worthy of a market check. Joseph Tuite's gelding has often been apprentice ridden in his recent races so the decision to book Luke Morris appears significant under the circumstances.
