In depth

Verdict

Richard Hannon presents punters with a puzzle by running three of which Musicora, a dual winner at two, is the highest rated by some distance. However, his ability to handle heavy ground is to be taken on trust so stable companion CAY DANCER makes greater appeal. The Danehill Dancer handled soft ground well when a comfortable scorer on her Doncaster reappearance and her ability to do so, allied with her assured fitness, gives her the nod. Saucy Minx and Sarangoo represent the older brigade with the latter making more appeal as she features a heavy ground success on her CV. Tea Leaf is promising but has hitherto only encountered quick conditions.
