That is what a large danny would use, with a lower lip slot. For a medium danny I'd think it would be too much lip, but have not tried it so I wouldn't want to sound to certain.

Danny's as in BM, Lupo, Pichney, Alou, Gibbs are surface swimmers. They use a narrow low slot lip. Build one with a high slot lip and you may have a plug you like, but it isn't strictly speaking a "danny".

Some guys have success using a high slot lip but turning the body fatter in the middle. This pulls the nose down while the waist keeps things on top and the tail gets lifted clear of the water and wags actively (a lot like a surfster only with the pivot point further back). "Real" dannys have a more level and somewhat more subdued swimming action.
