        Verdict

        Waltzing Wizard has hit a rich vein of form of late and gets the TEAMtalk vote to land a tight betting contest. Alan Berry's charge has proved fully effective between 5f and 7f on all types of ground and looks sure to give another good account off a 2lb higher mark than when a close runner-up in a Catterick handicap over this trip late last month. Rose Of America has dropped down to a most attractive mark and was possibly given too much to do when a strong finishing second over a mile at Kempton last time but may not appreciate the drop back in trip while Sea Storm is weighted up to his best at present. Young Alex will find this tougher off his revised mark having landed a 6f handicap at Salisbury last time (now 6lb higher) while What-A-Dancer is a frustrating character who is an infrequent winner for one of his ability but Celtic Mill is a consistent type and this bold front runner should not be underestimated.
