Verdict
TOCA MADERA's effort at York a week ago can be forgiven and his previous efforts in defeat suggest that he could play a leading role on this occasion. That includes a fifth in the Stewards' Cup over 6f here and the five-year-old is 1lb lower. Dyonisos caught the eye when unlucky in running over C&D a month ago and should not be underestimated, while Naana's Sparkle and Democracy Dilemma complete the shortlist.
