Verdict
A modest heat as though Penzflo and Goodacres Garden were both placed in a higher grade last time, neither threatened the winner. Danceintothelight, who won at Sedgefield in April, rarely ventures this far south so is worth a second look and Paddy Mulligan is still unexposed. Iktiview was only beaten half-a-length at Worcester last month but has gone up in the weights again. Send For Katie has only had the three starts under Rules but hasn't shown much so far. CORNISH BEAU can only improve for his comeback at Stratford, where he was prominent for a long way. Dropped a couple of pounds since, Richard Newland's novice can finally come good.
