        In depth

        Verdict

        Canary Islands is worth another chance here and he is taken to get the better of Rankayo Hitam and Premier Danseur. The selection did not give his true running at Kempton last time and we are prepared to forgive him that effort as he had previously looked progressive. This looks a good opportunity for him to regain the winning thread. Rankayo Hitam won well last time at Lingfield and he is sure to have his supporters on this his handicap debut. Premier Danseur hails from the yard that won this race last year and this colt should certainly be suited by this step-up in trip. Bonny Rose looks the stable second-string, and we will stick with Canary Islands as the pick.
