Verdict
HALLING DANCER was making his seasonal debut when fourth on soft ground at Ascot last month and may do better now with a couple of runs under his belt. That's about the best case you can make for any of these in a virtually impossible handicap. Wordismybond scored on fast ground at Warwick last year and Greatest Dancer's Fibresand victory at Southwell is easily her best form. Pashan Garh and Superciliary have both gone close on the Polytrack but More Than Words remains out of sorts and Idols Eye recorded his win over 5f.
