Forecasts

Danceintothelight (7/4), Take A Break (2/1), Eastview Boy (4/1), Russian Royale (15/2), Always Resolute (10/1)

Verdict

TAKE A BREAK is a tentative choice in a tricky little handicap. He goes well on this surface and on his best form this term has a sound chance. Veteran Danceintothelight should bowl along and they wouldn't want to give him too much rope, while top weight Always Resolute is starting to look fairly handicapped but there is a niggling doubt about him handling the heavy ground. Any signs of nibbles in the market for Eastview Boy after 13 months off would prompt a second glance.
