        In depth

        Verdict

        Tanforan is in good heart at present and should go well, however we will take a chance with Empire Dancer, Dasheena should also figure prominently. Empire Dancer has won off a two pound higher mark in the not too distant past and looked on the way back to form last time out.when a close up fourth behind Charlottebutterfly. There could be more to come and he looks the best option. Tanforan, a recent course winner, was just touched off in a decent enough race at kempton last time out, he will be hard to keep out of the money. Dasheena is currently on a very fair mark and ran well last time out, but she is hard to win with and a place is probably on the cards again. Witchingham hasn't shown too much of late but is from a yard that has to be respected in this type of contest. It is hard to get excited about any of the others and so we will stay with Empire Dancer for our selection.
