Verdict

A poor claimer here but something has to win and the principals look to be Prigsnov Dancer, My Sheilas Dream and Next Best and the vote is given to Prigsnov Dancer. The selection was a fair second behind Caught In Paradise last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and with this stiffer track also likely to bring about improvement he looks the one to be on. My Sheilas Dream rates the main danger on her latest third behind Artdeal but the suspicion is she will be seen to better effect over a longer trip and for that reason she is opposed. Next Best is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has had plenty of chances and is becoming expensive to follow and again he looks vulnerable. Of the remainder Woodland Mist hails from a yard in form and he will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish on his debut and he should be watched in the market but Prigsnov Dancer sets a fair standard and he looks the one to be on.
