Oblique gets the confident vote to make it three in a row with Shared Dreams and Dance Partner rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Real Cool Cat at Beverley despite not acting on the track. Granted she has a penalty for that win but she looks a progressive type and is taken to defy the handicapper again. Shared Dreams rates the main danger as she also won well last time out when beating Azizam but this looks tougher and her penalty may find her out. Dance Partner is another in form filly that won well last time out when beating House Martin - but that form has since been let down and for that reason she is opposed. Of the remainder, Kryssa is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but is hard to win with, while Ghurra looks weighed up to her best and for the winner we return to the progressive Oblique.
