This is another decent contest and the leading lights look to be Dancing Granny, Capannina and Fongs Gazelle with the vote given to Dancing Granny. The selection caught the eye with a winning effort at Musselburgh last time when she beat Musical Land. She gave the impression that day that there was more to come and this progressive looks like one to stay on the right side of. Capannina was a little disappointing in a nursery at Catterick when she was a beaten favourite but she left that run behind her with an improved effort at Newmarket last time when she finished third behind Tobosa. The step-up in trip should not be a problem and she is respected. Fongs Gazelle was not beaten far at Yarmouth last time and this stiff mile should suit her. Group Force won well last time but does have a penalty for that success today which will make life tougher and for the winner we are happy to return to the improving Dancing Granny
