Scotch N 'Dry has the form in the book and being a winner already is taken to land this from Let's Get It On and the unraced Mark Johnston runner Top Line Dancer. The selection has shown steady improvement and ran his best race to date last time out in a strong Newmarket nursery. This looks easier and if he maintains that level of form could hard to beat. Let's Get It On could do no more than win on his debut at Ripon last month and runs from a stable who does well at this track. She ran green on that occasion and was nicely backed by the stable. She will need to improve again to trouble the selection and a market move will augur well for her chances. Top Line Dancer is respected from Mark Johnston's yard but seems the type on breeding to do better over further but one can never discount runner's from Johnston's all powerful yard and he is one to be aware of. However the best bet should be to side with the likely favourite Scotch 'N Dry.
