Verdict
Comeintothespace can make amends for an unlucky passage at Chester, with Drum Dance, Burnley Al, Evanesce and Danaatt all out to stop him. This is another head-scratcher for punters with nothing standing out, but Comeintothespace is selected in the belief that he would have gone very close indeed at Chester three days ago but for getting no run two furlongs out. In the circumstances, Alan Bailey's charge did well to get within three-parts of a length of the winner Brace of Doves, and compensation may await. Drum Dance has been saddled with topweight but a reproduction of his close fifth at Newcastle would put him in the frame. Burnley Al can improve on this season's efforts now that his stable is showing some form, and Evanesce is not badly treated. Dannatt's stable had a winner at the weekend, but she has more on her plate than of late. Dispol Isle's yard figured amongst the winners at the weekend so he is worth a mention along with Zendaro who ran his best race yet in a Catterick maiden a month ago, chasing home the favourite Robinzal. Comeintothespace's two career wins have come on the all-weather so far, but in a moderate contest, he has decent claims, on that last effort at least.
