Dance And Dance looked on the verge of Listed class last term but he's struggled this season and the handicapper finally seems to be loosening his grip. GLEN MOSS still seems to be progressing and we'll give the nod to Charlie Hills' colt here. Fourth in a valuable handicap at Ascot last time out, he'd previously given weight and a beating to some decent types at Doncaster, and the form of the race has worked out well. Democretes does not always appear the easiest of rides and while he hasn't won for two years, he's continued to knock on the door for some time. Janoub Nibras was a useful juvenile and he is watched in the market on a belated reappearance. Born To Surprise is just 1lb higher than his last winning mark while The Confessor is much better than his last run suggests.
