This looks a pretty tight handicap on paper but ISHIADANCER has held a decent level of form since winning on her seasonal bow and is given our vote to go in again at the expense of fellow form horse Avontuur while Woodsley House is looking light if returning to his best. Lightly raced this term the selection returned to racing with a bang by scoring over this trip in a Redcar maiden. Since then she's been competitive in handicaps and only found just one too good off this mark last time and she looks to have leading claims. Avontuur is generally consistent in handicaps and bounced back after a poor run last time when a not beaten far third off this mark in similar company. Woodsley House is now five pounds lower than his last winning weight so should be going well but has been wildly out of form and Ykikamoocow is still handicapped competitively but is yet to prove effective in big fields. This looks a tight contest but Ishiadancer looks to hold the best form claims.
