        Verdict

        Six time course winner John Potts looks to be in the handicapper's grip now but Master Of Dance appears capable of winning off his current mark judged on his latest second at Lingfield. Without Prejudice and Moral Issue were also placed on their latest starts, but over shorter trips and Alhaban makes more appeal off a 5lb higher mark for having won over a mile at Lingfield a fortnight ago. However, preference goes to DANIEL THOMAS as he completed a double when running out a seven length winner at Kempton last week and Richard Guest's charge can defy a penalty on that evidence.
