Verdict

Everything has come right for previous course and distance winner Dance In The Day and he is taken to confirm the form with Bollin Thomas on 5lb better terms than when they met here last August. The Eric Alston-trained five-year-old returns to his optimum trip after failing just short of the mark over two miles and he can expand upon his trainer's good record of late. Turtle Valley hinted at a return to form last time out but has never been the most reliable individual for win only purposes. So the consistent Clarinch Claymore may be the best alternative for a place.
