These are not the most consistent of performers and what can only be a tentative vote goes to Norcroft, who is preferred to Chatshow and Carcinetto. The last mentioned disappointed at Bath on a softish surface last time but she is better judged on earlier form, although she may prefer an extra furlong so may be best watched. Nan's Lady has run better in her last two starts and would have claims if able to reproduce turf form on the Polytrack. Bucharest is better than he showed earlier this week, while Chatshow seems to be running into a bit of form. Bluebelle Dancer is another worthy of a mention in a moderate but competitive event however, preference is for Norcroft, who lost no caste in defeat at Kempton on Wednesday and a reproduction of that effort may suffice.
