Verdict

Wincanton scorer Deauville Dancer has never won off a mark this high but can’t be ignored. CUT THE CORNER has now had a couple of runs since returning from his winter break. This is his time of year and he won off a higher mark here last season. Lord Bryan and Duhallow Lad both attracted market support last time while Fox Appeal is usually thereabouts in this grade but hasn’t won in more than two years. Yorkist could find this too far if there is a decent pace.
