HIGH DANCER needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts but the pick of his form since joining Nicky Richards reads well in the context ofthis race and he could be worth chancing in what is a wide-open event. Jackstell returns to action with his yard going great guns and he’s feared, along with Lord Chamberlain. Crebilly isn’t dismissed lightly either from a tumbling mark. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.HIGH
