In depth

Verdict

Hi Dancer has run well under testing conditions in his last two starts but should not be inconvenienced by the faster ground today so Pat Haslam's gelding gets the vote to resume winning ways ahead of Rare Coincidence and Prince Among Men. The last mentioned comes here fit from recent starts over hurdles and may do better back on the level today but is hard to recommend on recent jumps form. Red Opera could be of interest but David Pipe's gelding has a long absence to overcome and he may be booked for a place at best. A market move for Andorran would be of interest, while Named At Dinner has slipped to a fair mark and has to be respected under Serena Brotherton. Rare Coincidence is better than his latest start at Wolverhampton suggests and he has to be respected but preference is for the well treated Hi Dancer.
