Verdict

Riguez Dancer caught the eye with a smooth success last time and can go in again at the main expense of Bienheureux and Topflight Wildbird. The selection hails from the Patrick Haslam yard and he beat Admiral Dancer pretty convincingly last week. He does have a penalty for that success but he is clearly going the right way and as a consequence there is little sense in trying to oppose him. Bienheureux is pretty exposed compared to our selection but he is holding his form well and he ran another solid race when third behind Heathyards Pride at Brighton last time. Topflight Wildbird is a nice filly but she has yet to prove she stays this trip so she can't be recommended with too much confidence. The rest look pretty moderate, although Rudry World could be good enough to run into a place. However, Riguez Dancer is open to plenty of improvement and can make it back-to-back wins.
