Red Baron Dancer could be the answer to this trappy maiden and he is nominated over Titus Andronicus and Like For Like. The selection has shown up well on both of his runs to date and nominal improvement should make him tough to beat here. He has the plum draw and he looks to be on an upward curve. Titus Andronicus is the obvious alternative as he is proven on a soft surface and he has also shaped with plenty of promise so far. Like For Like has shown a fair level of form but the reality is that she has had plenty of chances and she has yet to race on anything other than fast ground. Nicky Vaughan's stable are flying at present so his newcomer Say You Say Me is worth a market check, but for the winner we will stick with Red Baron Dancer.
