Magical Wit and Vizulize remain well treated and should run with credit, however we will give Dance Party the verdict here in a very competitive contest. Mick Easterby's mare returns to the all-weather following a fruitful spell over hurdles. She was successful at Sedgefield and Hexham at the end of last year and didn't do too badly earlier this month when just six lengths behind Le Biassais at Newcastle. Her previous all-weather form was not that inspiring but her enthusiasm appears to have been rekindled and she is a sporting selection in this tricky race. Magical Wit landed a couple of modest contests before finishing fifth to the progressive Fraternity. She is well treated on her return to handicaps and should be in the shake up. Vizulize finally got her head in front here earlier this month and wasn't disgraced in a decent event at Lingfield last time, she will be hard to keep out of the frame. So all in all a tough race to call but Dance Party is given a tentative vote
