DINGAAN comes here in good form and looks capable of winning this claimer at the main expense of Universal Circus. The Andrew Balding-trained seven-year-old has been going well since dropped into this grade, winning at Sandown and then making the frame over this trip at Wolverhampton. These conditions are ideal for him on turf and he will take some beating at these weights. Universal Circus has a 6f course win to his name and loves to hear his hooves rattle. He went close in a seller here over course and distance earlier in the month and has claims at the weights. Timeteam is another course winner in the field, having landed a seller over this trip last time and he is another for the short list, while neither Fault nor Lady Florence can be ruled out.
