Head Space won over track and trip last month with Escape To Glory well beaten. The former makes more appeal than the inconsistent Burning Thread but Dancheur is not easily dismissed either after suffering a narrow defeat at Ayr last time. SUNRISE DANCE won nicely at Thirsk a week ago when finishing over two lengths clear of runner-up Caranbola and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent her going in again. She gets the vote ahead of Bop It, who went close at Haydock on Thursday.
