        Verdict

        One Step Beyond won over 1m2f at Lingfield back in February and Masqool also drops back down in trip with a shout. Covert Mission and Hiromichi have won on the Polytrack this year and the latter has subsequently scored at Bath while Micks Dream went close at Brighton last time. But KING OF THE DANCE has more scope and gets the vote despite returning from a lay-off having missed out by only a neck over track and trip on his handicap debut.
