In an ultra tight handicap Spa's Dancer's habit of finding one or two too good is getting annoying so the better bet looks to be STARCLASS on his handicap bow and Yourgolftravel Com, who is also currently engaged in the previous race, will need to bounce back after a poor run last time. The pick got off the mark with an easy win over Poppy Golightly at Salisbury last time which was impressive enough in itself but her run at this track in a warm looking race two starts back is the one that suggests she should be winning off this type of mark. Spa's Dancer's performance behind Thabit in a maiden at Haydock on his last run should look a lot stronger by the time this race gets underway but he is a bit of a near miss merchant so it looks best to look elsewhere. Yourgolftravel Com was on a consistent run of form before he was beaten out of sight off this rating on his last run. Although that is off putting if he bounces back he has every chance of getting involved. Compton Blue was expected to complete a hat-trick on his last run and although failing in that still ran well enough to suggest another bold bid however he looks the Hannon second string on Jockey bookings which puts stable mate Our Boy Barrington well in the mix. A tricky puzzle to solve but Starclass has most scope for improvement.
