Verdict
Lopes Dancer loves it around here and gained his third track victory last month for which he's only been raised 1lb. ALPINE STROLL is still a maiden after 15 starts and has his first all-weather run here but he's been racing at a higher level and was only beaten a length in a Class 4 at Hamilton last time so, in the hope he acts on the surface, he gets the nod. Eagle One shot up the weights after winning here in December though has continued in good form but the 14-race maiden Harmonious has a long absence to overcome. Autonomy's five career victories have all been on the all-weather, including here, and, though now on his highest-ever mark, he looks the main threat.
