Verdict

Dance Alone has improved markedly since tackling fast ground with two narrow defeats over 7f and a victory over this trip at Leopardstown. He's an obvious contender but he was beaten by Fox Dream at Roscommon and there should be very little between them at the revised weights. PEDISNAP (NAP) is in even better shape having scored twice over this trip in the past couple of weeks. Joseph O'Brien's filly looks capable of even better so a 7lb rise for her latest victory at Navan shouldn't prevent her scoring again. Masalai has done better on the all-weather but Greengage, who is also engaged at Cork tomorrow, has run well enough in her last couple of starts to be considered for a place at least.
