          made all stands side, ridden 2f out, ran on well final furlong

          In depth

          Verdict

          Dorn Dancer makes a quick reappearance and is the one to beat, with Onlytime Will Tell and Unlimited just two out to stop her. Dorn Dancer ran a blinder at Nottingham on Wednesday to finish as close as she did in fourth behind Daniella, given that she was brought to the stands side to race by Jamie Spencer on a day when the far side was definitely the place to be. This time she has a good draw in stall 15 and any rain would increase our confidence in the mare who looks all set to run a big race off what is still an attractive mark compared to last year. Onlytime Will Tell ran well when second to Up Tempo at Newcastle, but that was in an apprentice claimer and he has more to do along with Unlimited who is another that turns out quickly after finishing fifth of 11 behind Count Cougar at Southwell on Tuesday. Blackheath, Dizzy In The Head and George The Best are all course-and-distance winners but none of them are in the best of form, while Piccleyes looks held by Onlytime Will Tell on a line through Up Tempo. All in all, it is best to side with Dorn Dancer.
