In depth

Verdict

This looks wide open but we will give the tentative vote to Princess Ellis with Dancing Mystery and Arfinnit both worth noting. The selection caught the eye when a close second of eleven at Ayr last time out. She has proven form in the past having won at at the same track and if putting her best foot forward then she should have a live chance. Dancing Mystery has won twenty four times and at the age of thirteen is still a force to be reckoned with after showing form when third of thirteen at Salisbury last time out. Whether or not he is able to add to his winning tally is questionable but a run for your money is assured. Arfinnit won for Annabelle King at Wolverhampton last month and has the ability to win again if the race goes in his favour but he is possibly a better horse on the all weather these days. So for the winner we return to Princess Ellis.
