Verdict
DANCOURT has a race in him from this mark and will be a popular selection in the finale. Last Three Minutes should go well again whilst Turning Top is open to further improvement. Dancourt still appeared to be a shade green when losing out narrowly at both Lingfield and Sandown. He's risen a total of 4lbs for those two efforts which could have been a lot worse in the scheme of things and this test should suit him ideally. Last Three Minutes doesn't appear to be an easy ride as he tends to be held up before coming with a late charge. That style may help him to stay one step ahead of the assessor and he still looks well enough handicapped but his fate, to some degree, is in the hands of others. Mastership is well handicapped but has become difficult to win with, Habshan has each-way claims as does Admiral Dundas whose stablemate, Clerk's Choice, got the better of the selection last time. Marajaa was impressive at York and isn't badly treated on the best of his old form but is another that needs the cards to drop right as he challenges from off the pace. Turning Top appeared to benefit from a change of tactics when racing prominently at Warwick and may have more to offer but she doesn't appear to be obviously well handicapped on the evidence available. This may not be as competitive as numbers suggest and Dancourt is readily preferred.
