Verdict

CANADIAN DANEHILL is enjoying an Indian summer and followed up his C&D win with victory at Southwell last week. A double penalty may not prevent a hat-trick in this company as he's already beaten Sally's Swansong, Love Club and Good Timin'. The latter re-opposes on better terms and had earlier finished ahead of Deveze, Green Warrior and Porthgwidden Beach at Kempton. Lizzy's Dream is open to further improvement and could prove best of the rest.
