Reasonable tempo with Prefer To Dance probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. SLUGWORTH (2) should run well in what is a weak distance maiden. On breeding alone he should be competitive. Has a much better barrier today as well so gets a cheap run in transit. OBSTRUCTIONIST (12) will be going forward again you would think. He wasn't beaten far at his last outing down south. Won't have to improve much now in a new stable. BETA BETTER (14) has gone better second up and can do that even better here. Doubt the distance will be a problem. CAESAR CAKE (10) has been getting too far back. Should enjoy running over a longer journey. CAPTAIN INSANO (3) wears blinkers now. That may help. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slugworth gets a soft run.
