Nationwide, in fine form on artificial surfaces, arrives here in search of a four-timer. However, he's yet to race on Turf and is up to this grade for the first time. DANCINGINTHEWOODS has finished close up on both starts this season and his second in a Class 2 at Newmarket last month reads well here. A mark of 80 looks fair and cheekpieces are also applied for the first time. He's just preferred to Woven, disappointing last time but with every chance if forgiven that run as he went very close at this venue last October. Recent York runner-up Zargun also makes some appeal with Hollie Doyle booked.
