Polytrack winners Iron Condor and Flying Power have something to prove on this surface, but Novel Dancer has slipped down the weights since the last time she raced over today's trip and that brings her into the equation. Dare To Bare has scope for improvement but MAHER makes most appeal. David Simcock's colt produced his best effort yet when stepped up to 1m4f at Newmarket last week and need only find a shade more improvement to get off the mark in this company. Supa Seeker was not beaten far at Windsor last time and could prove the main danger to the selection.
