Verdict

No gimmes in the nightcap and Follow The Colours is narrowly preferred to Pleasing and Dancing Guest. Follow The Colours was slightly disappointing at Epsom but he could find Windsor a little more to his liking and can build upon some fair efforts previously. Pleasing is sure to be popular after defeating hotpot Woolly Bully at Leicester. She was brought with a sweeping wide run on the day and is likely to be held up in an effort to strike late. Dancing Guest won readily on soft going but was well held behind Pleasing at Leicester. Frankie Dettori has been booked so this will be reflected in this evening's odds. Carloman has been well supported in the past without too much in the way of success but a step up in trip should suit and the market is watched again. Mujelle has ran well here in the past although whether a mile suits is somewhat open to question. Paradise Street was a very expensive purchase at the sales but has attracted precious little in the way of support in the market on three previous starts. The booking of Jamie Spencer may change all that. A tough race and Follow The Colours looks to have the best form on the board.
