        Verdict

        Danehillsundance is the confident choice here to get the better of Highland Harvest and Party Best. The selection certainly deserves to get his head in front as he has been knocking on the door of late. He is a big strapping horse so he should be suited by the step-up in trip today and it will be a surprise if he is not good enough to land this. Highland Harvest put in an improved effort last time when finishing third behind Regal Flush. This colt remains lightly-raced and if he can improve again he will not be far away at the finish. Party Best showed plenty on her debut but she failed to build on that last time when she was disappointing behind Benllech. She clearly has ability so it would be foolish to dismiss her claims too readily. Tasweet has ability but will find life tough from stall 10, and with all this in mind we are happy to nominate Danehillsundance who looks the one to beat.
