Denbera Dancer has shown improved form of late for racing on the Fibresand at Southwell and Mark Johnston's colt may not be suited by the return to the Polytrack and he looks worth taking on with preference for Safari Sundowner, who gets the vote ahead of Mr Napoleon. The last mentioned has been running consistently well and has to be respected but Gary Moore's gelding may be a shade high in the weights. Nick Littmoden's Sun of The Sea is less exposed than most of these, is in form and has to be respected but he may be a shade high in the weights. A market move for Blacktoft would be of interest but the vote goes to Peter Winkworth's Safari Sundowner, who has shown a decent level of form of late and he is taken to resume winning ways here.
