Rehearsed gets a narrow vote over the likes of Sovereign Spirit, Jadeeron and Dance A Daydream in another tricky race for punters to solve. Once again there are many in with chances due to so much placed form in evidence, so Rehearsed can only be the most tentative of picks on the strength of some fair efforts of late. Hugh Morrison's charge opened his account over 14 furlongs at Salisbury in July and has since twice chased home useful dual-purpose horse Fair Along over the same course-and-distance. Still rated in the 60's, he is worth chancing on his first try over today's trip. Sovereign Spirit has topweight to over come, but was fancied at Wolverhampton last time and is another worth a try over the trip on his return to Turf. Jadeeron won here in July and has no stamina limitations, but is rated much lower than the aforementioned pair and needs to improve, while Dance A Daydream did not get much luck in running at Ripon and in addition may have found conditions too soft. She could prove dangerous off a low weight, and with Rose Bien, Desert Storm and Lenwade all having flattered in the past, it is a real head-scratcher of a race in which we return to Rehearsed as the answer.
