In a very open event, and having stayed with those drawn high, we will side with Morse ahead of Ela Paparouna, Dancing Rose and Outer Hebrides. From a good draw, the lightly-raced Ela Paparouna might well get involved from a good draw, but Morse, who won over six furlongs here from a higher mark, would certainly be of interest if getting back to near his best. Watch the betting for clues. Dancing Rose is lightly raced and open to improvement and, having run a fair race to finish fifth at Newbury last time, it would be no surprise to see her go well. Outer Hebrides, who finished ahead of her there with Digital behind the pair, also gets a solid mention. Master Robbie is always likely to pop up from time to time, while Border Music has bags of talent and this switchback track might suit this slightly quirky type, Magic Merlin is a lightly-raced potential improver, and High Bray, who looked very promising earlier in the year, might yet enjoy a drop in trip. However, Morse gets the call.
