This is a very tricky race to end the card and Dance A Daydream is our sporting selection, Mulligan's Pride and Swords could provide most danger. James Fanshawe's three-year-old hit winning form at Lingfield in June, before running third behind Parchment at Beverley. On both occasions he was staying on strongly and this step up to two miles could be ideal. Swords returns to the turf following an excellent spell on the all-weather. If he can show the same aptitude on this rain softened ground he should be capable of going close. Mulligan's Pride is from a yard in hot form and he is weighted to reverse recent running with today's rival Dimashq. Of the others Danzatrice and Thewhirlingdervish cannot easily be discounted, but Dance A Daydream looks the best option in a dreadful betting race.
