Verdict
Dancetillyoudrop, from the yard who won this last year, will be hard to beat. In good form of late, he has to race of a 4lb higher mark than when successful at Folkestone and can prove too strong for Shepherds Rest, who has proved none too reliable in the past, but he does seem on good terms with himself at present.
