Plenty with claims including I Am Dandy, placed over course and distance before winning over 7f here with Betty Grable behind. Top Offer wasn’t beaten far last time and won here off today’s mark in September while Thecornishbarron finished just ahead of Kavora when fourth at the track in November and the latter later finished well behind the winner MOLTEN LAVA at Southwell. Steve Gollings’ charge went close again when beaten only a head at Kempton last week and looks the one most likely to run his race again.
