Verdict

Pegasus Dancer can win again in this handicap with Sands Crooner the most likely danger. The selection won well last time at Lingfield when getting the better of Desert Opal. He will again try and make every yard here so his draw in stall 1 is ideal and he can prove tough to beat. Sands Crooner chased home Almaty Express here last time and although he is again entitled to run his race, he is not easy to catch right and we will take him on with this in mind. Fizzlephut and Baileys Outshine are closely-matched on their recent run here but they both look to have a little to find if they are to make thier mark here and we prefer the claims of Pegasus Dancer who is taken to score.
