DARK LANE is getting closer and was beaten less than a length by Belinsky over C&D on Thursday. He gets the token vote with Nathan Sweeney taking 5lb off his back. Multiple Polytrack winner Bishopbriggs went close at Southwell back in May and has since joined John Butler. Any support for him would be interesting while Elegant Muse should be in the firing-line having scored over C&D in July and only 3lb higher now. Irish raider Pre Tax Profit has claims on his recent second at Dundalk while Chjimes and Fifteentwo have the past form to get involved.
