Verdict
Dancing Tilly, Theatre Lady and That¿s All Jazz look the three to concentrate on here and Dancing Tilly is given the tentative vote. The selection hails from the in-form Richard Fahey yard, and if you are prepared to forgive her latest run when she was a beaten favourite behind Orincovsky at Southwell, she looks to have fairly sold claims. Theatre Lady has beaten the selection on the flat but is returning from a break here and will probably need the run. However, she hails from a shrewd yard and if the market speaks in her favour then the hint should be taken. That¿s All Jazz is another that would enter calculations on the pick of her form, but she has been disappointing of late and was well beaten in this grade last time out, so in a race where the rest will have to improve to trouble the principles, the vote is given to Dancing Tilly.
