      Verdict

      We open with a claimer over a mile in which MASTER OF DANCE will take some beating if running up to anywhere near his rating with Lily Lily and Underworld Dandy looking to have place claims at best. The selection can even run a bit below par in this race and probably still win as he is easily the highest rating in the field. That also makes him best in at the weights and it's not as though he's out of form either having won a handicap at this track over seven furlongs two starts ago. Lily Lily has plenty to do based on the official ratings but has run well at Southwell the last twice. Her run behind Tiger Hawk two starts back as worked out well and she comes here off the back of a win in maiden company over this trip. Underworld Dandy is a former course and distance winner when taking a handicap off a mark of 60 in September. His form as been solid at best since so looks to have only minor prize claims. Indigo Ink is the only other with any realistic chance of going well off bottom weight but in a weak event Master Of Dance has a really strong chance.
