Lucayan Dancer has the chance here to show the ability he undoubtedly possesses and with the Ed Dunlop stable returning to the form they showed last season this Zieten colt is the TEAMtalk selection. Badly drawn on his penultimate start at Doncaster he returned to form last time out when beaten by the useful Big Bad Bob at Chester. This course should suit better. Parkland, though a beaten odds-on shot last time out, ran his best race and should improve on that effort. Ultra Marine is an exposed sort who will need to improve to take this though he has shown a slight improvement of late. Leighton won well last time out and has shown form on a fast surface but looks a little out of his depth here.
