This is quite competitive for a claimer and the leading lights are Labelled With Love, Million Percent and What-A-Dancer with the vote given to Million Percent. The selection hails from a yard in form and he looks ready to take his turn after going close on both of his last two starts. He was a decent second behind Onlytime Will Tell over 6f at Redcar last time and he should not be hindered by the extra furlong today. The booking of Seb Sanders in the plate is another positive in his favour. Labelled With Love won well in this grade last time but he did have the race run to suit that day and at the forecast odds it may pay to take him on today. What-A-Dancer ran well in a better race than this last time and he has to be of interest dropped into this grade. Bellini Star won well last time and is another to consider, but for the winner we will stick with Million Percent.
