They have saved the hardest race until last and so a narrow vote is given here to Inn For The Dancer, Jarvo and Monmouthshire have to be rated big dangers. The selection went close on numerous occasions over hurdles just before christmas and returned to the flat with a good run here in April. This race looks a little bit weaker and we expect a big run this afternoon off his current mark of 50. Jarvo comes here in great form having landed back to back victories at Yarmouth and Wolverhampton. He is actually carrying a pound less today so has to be a major threat. Monmouthshire beat Jarvo when they met at Bath last month, coming home half a length ahead. They are racing off the same terms today and so once again there should be little between them. Come What July comes into the argument on his recent second behind Garrulous, but we return to Inn For The Dancer as our idea of the winner.
