Danehillsundace gets the nod to bounce back from an average Pontefract run at the main expense of White Deer, Miss Lucifer and Medicea Sidera. The selection drops in trip here which appears to be a good idea as he didn't get home at Pontefract when last seen. Quick ground suits and with Ryan Moore back in the saddle, Richard Hannon's charge gets the vote. Miss Lucifer continues to edge up the weights for being beaten, but her form does look very solid, whilst Fares could go well but is yet to win on the turf so is easily passed over. Sadeek returns from an absence and may need the run but he was very promising as a two-year-old. White Deer looks high enough in the weights now, along with El Bosque. The hat-trick seeking Medicea Sidera is a filly on the upgrade and whilst she has plenty to find with some of these, she certainly cannot be ruled out. All in all this is competitive, and Danehillsundance is the one we plump for.
