Verdict

Many of these can be given chances, but Fromsong looks thrown in off his current mark and, as he arrives here on the back of a solid effort last time, he is selected as the value call. Dancing Mystery does not know how to run a bad race and will be a live danger judging by his resurgent form this season, while Whinhill House has Whinhill out of all recognition lately and he too has to be shortlisted as a threat. Another to bear in mind is Dame De Noche, who could be a different proposition now that she has a couple of runs behind her. Still, she has it to do from top weight in this company and it will take a good effort for her to prevail, even though she has won from a 2lb higher rating in the past. Winhill House has paid his way with six victories since the turn of the year. However, he is now 34lb higher than when his winning run started and he may be found out in this company. Therefore, it may be worthwhile chancing Fromsong for one more throw of the dice. Rod Millman's charge has been very highly tried over the years but has still shown great heart in defeat. He is now being given some slack by the handicapper, but it would be very dangerous to underestimate the seven-year-old now that he is back on a winning mark.
