Underthemistletoe can land this weak affair, Canary Dancer and Eternal Sunshine look to be the main dangers. Bryan Smart's filly drops into banded company for the first time this afternoon following some promising efforts in higher grades. The pick of her recent form was an excellent fourth behind Tiffin Deano in a handicap over course and distance and that form should be good enough to take this prize. Canary Dancer was just behind the selection in Tiffin Deano's race and ran well in a better race at Lingfield next time, he should be on the premises again. Eternal Sunshine is not one to trust implicitly but obviously has some ability and it would be no surprise to see her run well here at a big price. Hamburg Springer and Houdini Bay may do best of the remainder, but Underthemistle is the most consistent of these and gets the decision
