DRESSED TO DANCE has been a model of consistency this summer and can land himself back in the winners enclosure at the expense of Seneschal and Caprio. The selection won at Bath back in May and has since run well in defeat ever since. His latest effort was a solid one and if repeating that performance he will not be far away come the business end if the race. Seneschal comes from a yard in form and landed back to back victories at the beginning of the season shooting up ten pounds in the ratings as a consequence. Although he has found life tougher since then he has run well and this looks like one of his easiest opportunities for some time so any market support should be noted. Caprio finished second to Dukes Art in a handicap at Yarmouth last time out and drops back in grade into this claiming race. He has however been put into this race with the top claiming price meaning he had top weight to carry so he will have to be near his best to win. A competitive claiming race to call with so many of the contenders in good form but Dressed To Dance looks the most willing and gets the narrow vote.
