Verdict
Not a strong race by any stretch of the imagination and Circuit Dancer is the TEAMtalk choice to confirm previous promise. Alan Berry's charge has already shown a useful level of ability in similar company including a close third behind the smart Somnus at York in July and this pacey type will take some catching from his plum draw next to the rail. Val De Maal appears to be progressing along the right lines and is an obvious danger after his recent second over course and distance while Chris Wall's Fanny's Fancy is entitled to leave her debut effort behind and should be noted in the market.
