Verdict
Danceintothelight has placed here on several occasions and the veteran grey will no doubt attempt to make all but is probably best watched on his first start since May. Biscay Bay looks worth another try over this longer trip but FOR JIM arrives in peak form and the likely strong pace should play to the strengths of Jennie Candlish’s stayer, who can defy a 9lb rise in the weights. Baron Von Chill could go well at a price but more evidence is required before determining whether Stratford second Sackfullofdreams has turned a corner.
