The biggest field of the day is saved to the last but it's not a great contest. Grove Pride would certainly have a chance on past form but, like Railway Vic, is better over fences. Present Trend may be capable of some improvement and Fine Resolve enters the argument. DANCEINTOTHELIGHT gets a tentative vote to take advantage of a drop in class as he's now 4lb lower than when scoring at Musselburgh in February and ran better than the final results suggests over a trip too short last month at Cartmel.
