The return to this trip will suit George Adamson however he has a lot of weight to hump around and therefore a better proposition may be DANCEINTOTHELIGHT off bottom-weight; Bollin Judith and Rowan Lodge look the best of the rest. Micky Hammond has his horses in fair form and this Dansili gelding ran a fair race behind Gulf Coast at Pontefract last month. His previous run behind Allanah Abu is solid and off a feather-weight he must run well. Dispol Diva is better than a Ponterfract aberration a week ago, Grey Command is well-handicapped and needs watching in the betting, whilst Molon Labe didn't stay at Nottingham and so better is now expected down in trip and in the handicap. Capable Guest was last seen over hurdles at Market Rasen making no impression but the booking of Eddie Ahern catches the eye, as does some of Bollin Judith's form from last year but so far this season she has been poor. Rowan Lodge is consistent but is finding it hard to get the nose in-front, Hurlingham was backed at Thirsk last time and the handicapper is taking a chance dropping him by a pound, whilst George Adamson is one to involve in any combinations as conditions look ideal today. Buckie Boy is well-handicapped, however the vote goes to Danceintothelight.
