This is tougher than the selling hurdle Rock Of Leon won at Wetherby last month and ALLFREDANDNOBELL is preferred. The latter, who scored at the same meeting at Wetherby and is only 3lb higher today, also makes more appeal than stablemate and recent course third Russian Royale. Danceintothelight can finish closer back up in trip today having gone close over 2m4f here earlier while though Local Show has been finding life tough over fences he can race off a much lower mark back over timber.
