Verdict
DANCE ISLAND has the best piece of recent form with a third at Wetherby in February to his credit. He looks up to scoring off his current mark on that evidence and can end a long losing run here. Always Bold has scored twice over C&D though he's hard to fancy having failed to complete his last couple of starts, while Magical Treasure has claims on his earlier placed form with a recent comeback run at Taunton under his belt. Fiveways and Kasimali have plenty to find if they're to get involved judged on their recent efforts.
