Verdict

An interesting finale with MINOAN DANCER taken to supplement Lingfield debut gains on the polytrack when coming with a tremendous rattle to cut down the seemingly assured winner, Silent Moment, in the final strides. The latter has franked the form in no uncertain terms with two impressive Kempton successes to afford the form a healthy sheen. Minoan Dancer can follow up here. Swnymor outbattled Mashaari at Pontefract to break his maiden despite looking green and should progress again and play a prominent role, whilst Last Shadow cannot be ruled out despite not being at his best the last twice. Both successes this season have arrived on the soft ground that he is due to encounter here.
