        Verdict

        The step up in trip may not be ideal for easy Epsom winner Tiger Tiger so he is taken on with the improving Dancing Lyra, who dropped a significant hint about his ability when winning over ten furlongs at Lingfield in February. This stiffer finish will require an improved effort from the selection though and he a far from confident choice with the likes of Keelung in the field. However, it may be dangerous to read too much into that rival's wide-margin win at Newcastle last time and the value call lays elsewhere. Chasing The Dream hails from a yard that are yet to turn the corner this season but he too has sound each-way claims. But nothing makes as much appeal at the likely prices as Dancing Lyra, who just edges the narrowest of verdicts as he makes his seasonal turf debut here. The son of Alzao has some useful form to draw on from his experiences to date and it will be no surprise to see Richard Quinn adopt forceful tactics with his mount here.
