Verdict

Pro Dancer has got all the moves and now back on a winning mark is taken to get his head back in front at the main expense of Master T. The last-named warrants plenty of respect now upped in trip again and with Jamie Moore riding well at present he has place claims at least, especially as he goes on any ground. However the selection returns to fences after several decent runs over hurdles and having won a Listed race when trained in Ireland a couple of years ago, his class could shine too strong today. Romany Dream warrants respect as a course and distance winner and his decent third last time out reads fairly well in the context of this race. Baodai hasn't quite lived up to expectations here in the UK since coming over from France but must have solid claims in this contest, whilst Double Mystery should have come on for his recent reappearance. All in all this looks competitive, and we will tentatively return to Pro Dancer as the selection.
