Verdict

VEE DANCER proved well suited by the step up in trip when scoring over C&D last time and still looks ahead of his mark despite taking a 9 lb hike in the weights. Sea Oscar is feared most on the back of his good course second, with the handily-weighted Foreign Policy and course scorer Guild completing the shortlist.
