      Verdict

      Dance Light has shown significant improvement for a step up in trip and was completing a four-timer with a most determined display at Catterick last month. The three-year-old goes well on the forecast firm going and remains unexposed over the trip so is the TEAMtalk selection to extend her winning sequence. The daughter of Lycius had a number of today's rivals behind on that occasion including Patricia Philomena (fourth) and Own Line (fifth) and can confirm the placings despite a 3lb rise. Galleon Beach took full advantage of a lenient mark when scoring at Bath last time but that was a weak affair and he may struggle under his penalty and a bigger danger may come from Mysterium. Nick Littmoden's veteran has held his form well of late and races off the same mark as when second over 15f at Chester recently so should go well once again.
