Verdict
Grey Cossack has failed to reproduce his early season form but has fallen to a good mark and this course and distance winner is more than capable of running a big race here. Sarraaf returned to form last time at York and should go well again despite top top weight. What A Dancer was a costly falier at Epsom last time but will be more suited by this track his earlier second at this course looks excellent form and he is worth another chance here.
