Danceinthevalley, Passionately Royal and Sake are ones to consider here, and preference is for recent Hamilton winner Danceinthevalley. Passionately Royal won twice before finishing a decent third at Carlisle and is game and consistent, but may just be in the handicapper¿s grip. Sake continues to run well and has surprised punters on occasions although he is another who continues to run well. He has acquitted himself well on a previous visit to the track and was a recent winner at Redcar before being placed at Ayr on a softer surface. For the selection though, we turn to Danceinthevalley. He slammed his field by upwards of four lengths at Hamilton and that was due reward for a string of consistent efforts. He will run his race again, and it will take a good one to beat him. Danceinthevalley gets the vote.
