Verdict
Dance And Dance has a touch of class but this is tougher than the conditions race he won at Doncaster last summer. Belgian Bill disappointed at Meydan earlier this year but has decent claims on his best form at this track while much better was expected from Spirit Of Sharjah over track and trip last time. Bronze Prince and Redact have a bit to prove in this company but the latter's stablemate Shamaal Nibras makes some appeal. However, Richard Hannon's charge was well beaten on both occasions he came up against STIRRING BALLAD last year and Andrew Balding's filly is taken to continue on her upward curve and make a winning reappearance here having ending last season with a four-timer on Turf.
