Dress To Impress appeals most and is preferred to Stolt and Sands Crooner. The selection finished third over course and distance on his return from a short break last time out despite racing too keenly and being short of room. That run should have taken the edge off him and he's fancied to go close. Stolt hails from a yard that can do little wrong at present and he should appreciate the return to racing on this surface after an outing at Southwell and looks to be on a winning mark still. Sands Crooner was driven out to get the better of Fromsong by a neck last time and may be able to confirm the form despite having to carry a penalty. Harry Up should be involved but is struggling to get his head in front whilst Financial Times also looks high enough in the weights. Few are dismissed in a competitive heat but Dress To Impress can lead them home.
