Verdict
In a poor end to proceedings both Rossini's Dancer and Trans Sonic make appeal based on their consistent form but we'll take a chance on LYTTON who seemed to find quick conditions exactly to his liking last time. The gelding has so far failed to build on his promising debut win, where he beat a number of decent enough sorts, but did show a spark of ability to narrowly miss out in selling company last time. He obviously has more to do back in the handicap ranks but his mark is looking on the low side no and on these terms should go well. Rossini's Dancer has been a consistent sort for Richard Fahey recently and won an apprentice handicap at Wolverhampton off a mark just two pounds lighter last time out. While his mark looks good he has to concede weight to most here and hi best has come in softer conditions. The ground could also be a little quick for Trans Sonic who has recorded his two career turf wins on ground with a little give in it but he looks dangerous off his low looking rating. Flashy Max will appreciate a return to grass after disappointing on polytrack last time and was a winner the last time he came to this track but with his mark looking on the high side we opt for Lytton.
