In depth
Verdict
This is a competitive seller and we will give a narrow vote to Midnight Lace, Rowan Pursuit and Dane's Rock may provide most danger. The selection has put in two very good efforts recently and could have been found a decent opportunity here. She was second to the subsequent winner Raza Cab and then ran well in a much stronger race than this last time. The trip is ideal and from a good draw she may prove hard to beat. Rowan Pursuit has a bit to find on official ratings but is from a yard in form and a big run can be expected. Dane's Rock also has to be respected on his recent effort at Wolverhampton when not beaten far by Merdiff. Paso Doble and Emily come into the argument on the pick of their form, but Midnight Lace has shown enough recently to suggest a race of this nature is within her grasp.
