Westfield Dancer lines up in terrific form and can notch another victory at the expense of Caipiroska, Another Jewel and Ben Tally Ho. Westfield Dancer stands out here despite the size of the field, having won five of his last six outings, the last three of which have been over fences. Given a break since the last of them at Worcester in June, he is still better treated than over hurdles, and the rest will have done him good. There is always the chance that he will go off the boil, but he was all heart last time under a big weight, and we fancy him to keep up the good work. Caipiroska went out tamely after making the running at Perth, and it will be interesting to see if Graham Lee uses a bit more restraint this evening. Another Jewel was outbattled on the run-in at Newton Abbot, and has a furlong less to travel here, so is worth a mention at least, and a similar comment applies to Ben Tally Ho, also second at the west-country track last time. They can all play a part, but Westfield Dancer will prove hard to beat.
