Verdict

Le Chiffre was a little disappointing last time but John Harris's 6-year-old gets the vote to recoup the losses at the main expense of Arctic Desert and Dancing Deano. The selection has two things in his favour here; he returns to the all-weather and he is back over a trip that clearly suits. Furthermore, he is not badly drawn and he can regain the winning thread. Arctic Desert has won his last two races, both by a narrow margin, he has a good draw today and he is entitled to be thereabouts at the finish. Dancing Deano has got some solid form and the yard do well here, but he has never won beyond 7f and for that reason we will take him on today. Motu is another who has a good draw but he is unproven over the trip. With all this in mind, for the winner we will stick with Le Chiffre.
