Rated 78, Neat And Dandy sets a decent standard having placed in all three outings so far but STOCKPYLE is taken to build on last month’s promising debut effort. The latter found only a Godolphin hotpot too good over track and trip and is also preferred to Lingfield third Magical Dias. Libertus showed some promise here on his introduction but the returning Rhino steps up from 5f on his first start since May.
