Verdict
Topweight Dayglow Dancer has failed to reproduce the sort of form he showed when winning on the Polytrack earlier in the season since returned to the turf. However, Mick Channon's horse has dropped in the weights as a result and should not be discounted. A similar comment applies to the Paul Cole-trained Nimello. The former Lincoln winner is much better treated now than at any other time in his career. In better form is Nick Littmoden's Mush, who beat both Must Be Magic and French Horn on softer ground at Newmarket last time. If there is any further rain, he can beat them again.
