Thundering Home should be placed to advantage sooner or later but has yet to score on turf and DANCING PRIMO looks a safer option. The mare only has six runs on turf to her name and can progress again. She certainly appears capable of defying a penalty for a cosy Ffos Las success under Ryan Clark who resumes the partnership once again. Surprise is consistent in lowly grades and should find a race but Outland rates a more palpable danger. Disappointing last time, Ryan Moore gets the leg up on the topweight who fully merits his place at the head of the handicap on his best form, notably an excellent second to Roberto Pegasus at Newmarket in a better race than this. Peira has place claims but needs to improve to claim the prize.
