Boy Dancer is selected to land win number two this season where Flying Valentino, Oeuf A La Neige and Wind Shuffle appear the biggest threats. A narrow winner last time out, Boy Dancer had Wind Shuffle 2l in arrears in fourth and is only 2lb worse off with Wind Shuffle, who has each-way claims but is finding it difficult to get his head in front this season. Oeuf A La Neige hails from a yard who's horsing are running superbly well at the moment and this gelding should be thereabouts. Flying Valentino appeared to be given quite an amount to do and ran on well last time. If more prominent tactics are applied he will certainly play a leading role but Boy Dancer is the pick.
