DANDY G BOY improved to make a winning start for this yard at Wolverhampton in July and, having done too much too soon when fourth at Brighton on most recent outing, he's well worth another chance. Rogue Officer showed much improved form when runner-up over C&D 21 days ago and may have more to offer in a first-time hood, particularly if getting a strong pace to aim at. Ernie's Valentine is another to consider turned out again quickly from his reduced mark.
