In depth
Verdict
Coleorton Dancer, Wise Wager and Westbrook Blue are three against the field in this wide-open affair and the confident vote goes to Coleorton Dancer. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although he has a six-pound penalty for that win he is sure to go up the weights again when he is reassessed. He has conditions to suit and from the plot draw he will be hard to beat. Wise Wager rates the main danger. He was a good second behind Nova Tor last time and that form has since been franked so he will not be far away. Westbrook Blue is another worthy of respect. He was a fair fourth behind Pitch Up last time but looks to have plenty of weight for what he has achieved and for that reason is opposed. Of the remainder, Wonderful Mind is from a yard in top form and has a good draw so is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Coleorton Dancer.
