Oh Yah Dancer has been well held in all three starts so far but could be of more interest in a handicap for the first time; however, he is hard to back with any confidence and a better bet looks to be Gunnabelil, who gets the vote over Named At Dinner. The last mentioned has been running creditably of late and should be thereabouts again racing off a career low mark. Sea Cove is capable but has given little sign for encouragement this term, while Overnight is capable but probably needs some help from the handicapper. Neagh may improve for the step up in trip but needs to and of more interest may be Pay On, although he has paid the penalty for his success at Kelso in May. The vote then goes to Gunnabelil, who is better than he showed at Cartmel last time he may be worth backing to give Peter Bowen another winner.
