Verdict

A typically poor claimer, where Red Sovereign can get the better of Peruvian Style, while What A Dancer can also show up well. The selection is weighted to go well, and does perform over course and distance, having finished runner-up to Cherokee Nation in an E3 handicap here last month. Not disgraced when beaten only a length into third on his most recent start, here over five furlongs, he is clearly in good heart, runs from the same mark here, and can take the prize. Peruvian Style and What A Dancer are joint topweights here, with the latter officially rated the better of the pair. He won here over seven furlongs in the spring, and drops back in trip here, tackling six furlongs for the first time. Given that he's never been tried at it and has had plenty of opportunities, he will surely be tapped for a bit of toe, but if he could reproduce his seven furlong form then he would be thereabouts. Peruvian Style also likes it here, and he too looks to have a decent chance if he can put a stinker from Wolverhampton last time firmly behind him. On balance, Red Sovereign appears to have most going for him and is our selection here.
