An awful contest where there are doubts about each and every one of them and we'll suggest EASY DANCER to get the better of Tempting Paradise and Monzon. The Nigel Twiston-Davies trained selection, like many of these, is not exactly in red hot form, but we'll chance him to get it right on ground that should suit him better than a number of the others. The trainer does not appear to have found this five-year-old's optimum trip just yet, and he was a runner-up last time over 2m 2f, albeit well beaten, having previously raced over a mile further when third at Huntingdon. Good ground or faster certainly suits and it is really that which is the draw here, so in a very modest affair he might prove good enough. Monzon should not be inconvenienced by the quicker ground and was runner up on good at Fontwell last time after a decent break. If he doesn't suffer from the dreaded bounce factor then he can get heavily involved. Tempting Paradise was a close second at Bangor last time and should be even better over this slightly longer trip. However there are concerns over the ground for him and connections will be hoping for rain prior to the off to help his cause. This will be tough enough for Lady Roania with top weight, over a trip that is arguably a bit short, though she should act on the ground, while She's Humble relishes conditions but looks handicapped to the hilt and we'll side with Easy Dancer.
