Summer Dancer is selected here ahead of The Fifth Member and Goodbye. Summer Dancer made late gains when fourth at Newbury last time looking as though he had a bit more to offer this game. Racing off the same mark today, he can go well. The Fifth Member looked progressive when winning at Folkestone last time and, although that success came on heavy going, he can well with the runner-up from that race having won since. It may have been the longer trip that did for Goodbye last time as she sought her third-straight win and, dropping in trip now, she could still conceivably be reasonably weighted. Finally, Grizedale is well weighted now based on his course and distance win from earlier in the year and, as ever, the betting might provide further clues for you when trying to find the winner of this contest. Our choice is Summer Dancer.
