Verdict

A case can be made for most in this including the Dan Skelton trio. Boston De La Roche looks the type who is capable of better whilst Defining Year and Starlight Court need to improve on their latest efforts. Elysian Prince finally produced a hurdling performance in line with his Flat credentials but was a shade fortunate to win. THE WAY YOU DANCE arrives on a fair mark judged by last summer's form when winning with something to spare at Worcester and Newton Abbot. His in form stable tuned him up for this with a recent run on the AW. Middlebrow is never far away but has found a lack of pace a burden in the closing stages. He can make the frame again here.
