Sovereignty gained a well deserved victory last time and can follow up this afternoon, Sarah's Art and Dance To The Blues may provide most danger. Dean Ivory's charge had been steadily improving this season and took full advantage of a drop into selling company at Wolverhampton, beating Aswan, with subsequent winner Rudi's Pet back in fourth. There could be more to come and he looks the one to be on. Sarah's Art finished runner up in a class four contest at Newmarket last time and will find this company less taxing. Dance To The Blues rarely gets beaten far and put in another solid effort last time when a close up fifth behind Drumming Party at Newbury. Adam Kirby takes the mount and the combination should be involved in the finish. The pick of the others could be Ivory Lace, but Sovereignty looks on the upgrade and should be followed.
