DARE TO DANCE is difficult to oppose. A maiden winner on soft ground, he posted an even better effort to score at Newmarket on his handicap debut last month and Jeremy Noseda's colt has plenty of room for further progress. Waldvogel is a fair handicapper on his day, but over longer trips, while Medicinal Compound has shown nothing so far this season. Mirrored looks a bigger threat on his recent C&D second and Tres Cormas scored in lesser company at Newcastle on his penultimate start and could figure. Calaf looks best of the rest.
