Racing Post verdict
Third-partyNightime Dancer is our selection, topping a competitive Class 2 field over today's 12f trip on a clear-cut figure of 109. Tycoon and Nesthorn both rate within a few pounds and look the most obvious dangers, with Ernst Blofeld also capable of running well. Confidence in the selection is low given how tightly this field is rated, but the merit case still favours Nightime Dancer.
Racing Post pick: Nightime Dancer
