All four have claims but EXIT TO WHERE arrives in the best form after a battling success here latest and should prove a tough nut to crack if in the same mood. Hidden Commander was an improved performer last term and has every chance at his best but was 63 lengths behind the selection on his return from a break last time. The Ferry Master was also well beaten in that contest and is better suited to longer trips while Dolly Dancer has become disappointing and is best at Hexham.
