SHORT CUT is the form choice to land this maiden handicap while both Dancing Welcome and Robin Till should be added to the short list. The selection caught the eye after running a personal best at Brighton last time out finishing second in the process. He looks favourably treated in comparison to the majority of his rivals and if recapturing his best form he is sure to go close. Trainer Milton Bradley has his team of horses in good order of late and Dancing Welcome has been running well this season without winning. She did catch the eye after finishing second at Brighton last time and any market moves should be noted. Robin Till comes from the powerful Richard Hannon stable but has not recaptured his early season form. This is however his easiest opportunity to date so it would be no surprise to see him in the forefront of the market. Short Cut has proven ability and ought to be good enough to win a race of this nature.
