Forecasts

My Dance (8/11), Puppet Warrior (7/4), Flemenskill (8/1), Don't Tell George (66/1)

Verdict

MY DANCE was much-improved under Noel Fehily when posting an all-the-way success at Fontwell three weeks ago. The mare goes up in distance now but should have no issues regarding stamina and is the one to beat amongst this quartet. Puppet Warrior is the principle threat, having finished second over C&D last month and again since at Fontwell. In between he was tailed off against better opposition at Ascot. Having finished second in three bumpers, there are some questions over his stomach for a finish right now, and he may be left with an all-too familiar role. Don't Tell George was green in a bumper here on debut while Flemenskill showed some promise in that sphere, but has yet to transfer that to his jumping in two outings.
