SLINKY MAPIMPI and DANTONFROMSANDTON made no impression in a Grade 3 last time but could fare better in these calmer waters. MASTER CHRISTMAS and MASTERSHIP have the form and experience at this level to also acquit themselves competitively. DYLAN'S CHAMP is at the peak of his powers and a hefty 9-point penalty for his last-start victory shouldn't prevent another forward showing. However, preference is for fellow recent scorer PALACE PRINCE whose progress and momentum is unlikely to be halted by an 8-point rating rise.
