Those who supported Danswinner last start will be backing up tonight when Douglas Whyte looks to go one better and continue his fruitful association with astute local mentor Wong Tang-ping.

The six-year-old rallied bravely under the South African ace to chase Hornet home course and distance on that occasion but Danswinner's supporters got a real run for their money over the final furlong.

It proved that the Danehill gelding had come right back to form and this lineup has a similar look to it.

The biggest threat could come from the Tony Millard-trained Northern Flyer.

The first-season training sensation has gone back to basics with the five-year-old son of Theatrical and he is hopeful that he'll jump on terms.

The last twice he's badly blown the start by rearing just as the gates opened.
