        Verdict

        Espada may be too good for Dancing Tilly with Splodger Mac and Rymer's Rascal the best of the remainder. The selection is a course and distance winner who is dropped in grade after being well beaten in a handicap behind Burgundy last time. Back to this more suitable level he should go well and he is given a the vote in what is a moderate affair. Dancing Tilly was below her best in a banded stakes race at Lingfield last time on the AW and she will need to buck up her ideas if she is to regain the winning thread. However, if she could recapture her best form she would be a leading player. Splodger Mac is dropped in grade and looks to have decent place claims, but he is arguably better over a shorter trip and for that reason is narrowly passed over. Rymer's Rascal was unlucky in running over this course and distance last time behind Dara Mac, so he is another who can't be entirely ruled out, and in a tricky race for punters to call we will wide with Espada as our idea of the winner.
