Scottish Dancer gets the nod in a tightly knit Hexham staying contest, sitting on a rating of 103 that leaves him narrowly ahead of Stylish Recruit on 102, with Killybegs Jet Lady and Frisky Whiskey a pound further back on 101. That slender edge is enough to make him the one to beat over 24 furlongs on good ground, and Robert d'Ores looks well short of this lot on 94. Stylish Recruit is the chief danger, while the other two are close enough to turn it into a proper scrap, so this is far from a confident call. Scottish Dancer is our selection.
