Plenty are in with a shout. THAT'S JUST DANDY wasn't seen to best effect but still ran well when third at Doncaster earlier in the month so he gets the nod off an unchanged mark. Course-winner Cowboy Justice also arrives in excellent nick and is feared most, although Janoobi, Casanova and Verhoyen all need factoring in too.
