        Verdict

        STARLA DANCER's form figures sound an alarm but she holds an obvious chance in a weak race. Monetary Fund also has claims on the figures but has questions to answer so it will be worth looking at the lightly raced runners. Freda's Rose showed a little ability as did Knight's Victory who may not have handled the fibresand but Steel Trade has stronger claims although is worse off with the selection on their running at Newcastle. Stablemate Towthorpe could figure whilst support for Oneofapear would bring the Swinbank runner into the equation. Monetary Fund ran quite well at Southwell in a first time tongue tie but he has to prove that he can reproduce that level of form back on grass. Starla Dancer has only twice finished out of the frame and has been a shade unfortunate to bump into a couple of useful types on her last two starts. She doesn't here and should be able to take advantage.
