It's rare to see the leader in the trainer's championship launch a double salvo at a £1600 seller but that's the case here with Richard Hannon. DANCEYOURSELFDIZZY looks the likelier of the pair, having given a decent account in various claimers this term, notably when hunting up No Poppy in a better contest here back in May over a furlong less. He just gets the vote over Crown Ridge. Mick Channon's charge has shown more than enough in modest company to play a leading role and a recent second over this trip in a modest Hamilton handicap confirmed his wellbeing. Chilledtothebone has also being going well in selling company and should get in the mix, as should Fly by White if repeating an improved effort last time.
