Verdict

HARVEST DANCER, Ransom Note and Syrian make most appeal here and the vote goes to Harvest Dancer. The selection won his maiden in good style at Goodwood last time when this longer trip clearly suited. He could be worth sticking with now as he looks the type who could be on an upward curve and we will put him forward as our choice. Ransom Note is an obvious alternative as he has won his last two races in good style and he still appears to be one step ahead of the handicapper. He looks more than capable of pushing our selection close. Syrian showed some useful form last season but he doesn't appear to have trained-on. One Good Emperor broke his duck here earlier this month and it will be interesting to see if he can build on that. Spa's Dancer has been running consistently well and he is another to consider, but the vote is given to Harvest Dancer.
