Verdict

Obe Royal, Circuit Dancer and John Keats are the three for the shortlist here and the vote is given to Circuit Dancer. The selection has been threatening to resume winning ways on his last couple of starts and he did well to chase home Cheveton last time. He has been backed on each of his last two outings and can make it third time lucky. Obe Royal has been running well off his current mark and he put in another solid effort last time out. He looks booked for a place at least, but he may find at least one too good. John Keats won well last time but he may be vulnerable today his 6lbs penalty, while course and distance winner Quicks The Word is another who could go well at a price. However Circuilt Dancer can gain his reward for a string of consistent efforts.
