Verdict

A race that revolves around VEE DANCER and the Irish challenger should get the hat-trick up. He came clear with plenty in hand at Hereford on Saturday, relishing the longer trip, and can carry on improving for a good while yet. Quick Draw is on a hat-trick himself but is probably nowhere near as well-handicapped as the selection and is rather hard work. Fevertre is an interesting alternative.
