        Verdict

        Pilgrim Dancer finally took advantage of his slide down the handicap when winning at Wolverhampton last time but had to dig deep and more is needed here. Decency gets a 7lb claimer back on board but he didn't finish any closer the last time David Coyle rode him and a chance is taken on LASER RUBY. Andrew Balding's filly has gone close over 6f here on more than one occasion and a return to this longer trip could be what she needs to get her head back in front. Chinese Democracy makes most appeal of the remainder.
