RACING POST VERDICT

I'm Dan Dare is a solid option but CALL ME BY MY NAME drops in class and could prove a different proposition with a run behind him.

Our Expert Tip

I\'M DAN DARE, which is a brilliant name by the way, seemed to really get the hang of things on his second handicap start. The first time cheekpieces appeared to help massively and he was only just beaten on the nod.

If he improves again from that effort then he should be right in the mix and the 2lb rise looks very lenient in fairness.
