Verdict

Bronze Dancer is suited by a testing track and is taken to win again at the main expense of Gigs Magic and Nero West. A winner just six days ago, Alan Swinbank's gelding will love the quick ground. A six pound penalty may not be enough to stop him winning especially now that decent claimer Paddy McDonald takes off a handy 5lb. Gigs Magic steps up in trip after losing in a photograph at Ripon last time out over ten furlongs. This looks a good move and he rates the main danger. Grey Outlook looks the pick of Linda Perratt's three although softer ground would suit more. Kyber stays all day and would be a real threat if gifted a soft early lead, whilst Nero West looks sure to have come on from his recent reappearance behind the selection. he could easily get closer this time around. Crathorne returns to the flat on a fair mark and could go well at a price, however Bronze Dancer is in form and gets the nod.
