Verdict
Danceintothelight has claims after a comfortable win last time over 1m 6f, but is taken on today on a much softer surface and TOBERNEA is preferred. Mark Johnston's colt has got his head in front at both Ayr and Hamilton lately, showing a good attitude. He will need more of that from a 5lb higher mark, while he acts with cut and may find enough improvement after being stepped up again in trip. There are going concerns over Tropical Duke, while Umverti, Maneki Neko and Bagber all may have succumbed to the handicapper for the time being. Royal Swain looks to be best of the remainder. He is on a decent mark and acts with plenty of cut, though we will side with Tobernea.
