Verdict
Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading players and the main protagonists look to be Blackheath, Lincoln Dancer, Bahamian Breeze, and Ok Pal, and the tentative vote goes to Lincoln Dancer. The selection was fourth behind Zilch last time out at Pontefract weakening in the final furlong this easier course will suit and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Morse rates the main danger he was a good second behind Pertadia's Magic last time but that form has since been let down and he is opposed for that reason he is opposed. Blackheath is another that could go well he was a stying on fourth behind Maktavish last time and will will appreciate this extra furlong. Bahamian Breeze is one of the least exposed in the field and is from a yard in form so he is worth a cautionary look in the market but he may just need the run after a 251 day absence. Of the remainder Ok Pal has a chance at his best but he looks to have plenty of weight and for the winner we return to Lincoln Dancer.
