Kid'z'play, Moscow Dancer and Manoubi look the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Kid'z'play. The selection looks to have taken to chasing well based on his win over this course and distance last time when he beat Tribal Dispute in good style on heavy ground. He has a good record on this track having won on each of his three visits here and with this faster ground unlikely to inconvenience him he is given the confident vote. Moscow Dancer made a mistake and was pulled-up last time but he had previously won well when beating Figaro Du Rocher at Kelso. However, he has been hit quite hard by the handicapper and he might just be worth taking on off his current mark. Manoubi won on his last visit to this track and he returns to hurdling after a spell on the level. However, he is probably best over slightly further and for that reason we will oppose him. Dawton was a good second behind Perouse and he is certainly worth consideration here with this fast ground sure to play to his strengths. However, Kid'z'play looks like one to stay on the right side of and he is taken to score.
