In depth
Verdict
A difficult race to unravel as many are unexposed at this trip. However, Contact Dancer is one who looks certain to benefit from being upped in trip and must be considered now that his yard have begun to hit form again. That said he does have a pronounced knee action and any rain would help his cause. Academy may be the one to benefit the most if Contact Dancer does not act on the predicted firm ground and having already won at a trip beyond two miles in the past - he just holds the advantage on the book. Kaluana Court and Jahash are others who should have an impact on proceedings but both like to have their own way out in front and may find themselves tapped for toe in the closing stages when the hold up horses are delivered. General Amnesty gets in off a feather weight and may give the TEAMtalk selection of Academy the most to do.
