In depth
Verdict
A competitive affair rounds off proceedings and the TEAMtalk selection is Gilded Dancer. The gelding from the William Muir yard has ran well in much better races without winning and if he can reproduce the effort that saw him finish fourth behind Lady Bear at Ayr he will be hard to beat. Maggie's Pet rates the main danger she has only had two runs and is one of the least exposed in the field and her latest second behind King David reads well in the context of this race. Saponi is from a yard that has a good record and this debutante by Indian Ridge is worth a cautionary look in the market. Sorbiesharry is from a yard that is beginning to hit top form and he was a fair third at Wolverhampton last time out behind Quinta Special. Scarteen Sister has had plenty of chances in a similar grade of late without winning and again she may find one or two to good for her here. The remainder look exposed and need to improve on all known form to take a hand in the finish.
