In depth
Verdict
A very competitive affair here with many in the field having a good chance on there best form. Bo Dancer has been holding his form very well of late goes on any ground and he could go well despite top weight, but Tap Dance looks the one to be on he was a fair second behind Danteco at Sedgefield last time is fairly weighted and this stiff track will suit. Lord Alvinru could also go well he will like the ground but his best of late has been over a shorter trip. Milan King was a good third in a seller behind Governor Daniel last time out and that form has been franked since so he must go close off what looks a fair mark. Fifteen Reds will also like the ground and could easily run in to a place but he has been tried over a verity of trips without winning and he may be triples. Job Rage is another to consider if his jumping holds up as he is well in on his best form.
