          Verdict

          King of The Dance finished in front of Bastogne when third at Newbury and the latter finished ahead of both last year’s winner Macs Dilemma and Shoot To Kill when placed here last month. Liangel Hope drops back down in class having won at Brighton earlier and Local Bay will appreciate the return to this longer trip but a chance is taken on BOXING ALEX (NAP). The latter has improved with every start and with further progress expected fitted with blinkers for his handicap debut, he gets the vote.
