      In depth

      Verdict

      Little or no form to assess and a contest further confused by all those to have run bar Chik's Dream returning from lengthy absences. With nothing jumping off the page it may be worth chancing the newcomer, LET'S DANCE, especially with Tom Dascombe having made a more than solid start to the current campaign. The Danehill Dancer filly wouldn't have to be special to oblige here and market support would strengthen confidence. Arctic Cat and Storm Runner showed little last term but should do better at three, with the former of greater interest having his first run for the progressive William Knight yard.
