Verdict
THE WAY YOU DANCE has yet to win on Turf but arrives in the best form having won two of his last three starts at Wolverhampton. He is 2lb higher for this but Turnbury can race off the same mark as when winning at Lingfield recently as he is another without a win on this surface in nine previous attempts. Forgiving Glance has been winning over hurdles and went close here on a couple of occasions last year while Onorina won on the Turf course at Lingfield in July but off a 7lb lower mark than today.
