Inca Dancer, She's Dunnett and Make My Dream are the three that catch the eye here and preference is for Inca Dancer, who has struck winning form recently. Make My Dream is not consistent but can run well from time to time and did so recently, finishing a close second at Wolverhampton last time. he also ran well in a Brighton handicap to be second and on that form is well handicapped. However, he cannot be relied on to reproduce those efforts and is passed over. She's Dunnett has not been seen since April but showed promise on the Turf to be second on her most recent starts. Her ability to handle the surface has to be taken on trust, and race fitness is a concern. Inka Dancer is another who has to prove herself on the surface but has won at Nottingham two outings ago, off the same mark that she races off here. She also finished second at Brighton last time and is clearly in good heart. She can land her third race here.
