Sedgefield third Danceintothelight has never convinced over this longer trip but Snapping Turtle is worth persevering with over 3m after his recent placed effort at Perth. Kilcullen Article is a tried in a visor after his latest third at Ffos Las and Omid is a thorough stayer, though only got up close home at Ayr and has a penalty to defy here. TRAFFICKER (NAP) arrives off the back of a win at Wetherby and could be improving. He's escaped a penalty as that was a conditionals' race and, as he's already won over 3m between the flags, should be hard to beat again today.
