Verdict

Another race in which the market may prove the best guide but a chance is taken on Waltzing Along who was a good third behind Gary's Pimpernel on his debut. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and with his stable now in top form he will be hard to beat. Sir Rowland Hill rates the main danger he was a good second behind the highly regarded Enhancer last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close.Duringthehnight could also go well having been a fair second behind Conchita over course and distance last time out. Squeeze Box ran well when second on his debut but he was a very disappointing favourite last time out and he may be best watched on this occasion. Wild About Harry showed a modicum of ability on his debut but he was put firmly in his place at Kempton in a much better race last time out. However this is a much easier contest. Of the remainder On Approval is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market.
