The Andrew Balding yard has saddled the winner of this a few times over the years and DANCE IN THE STORM is taken to enhance that record. She did too much too soon when fourth to Mudbir at Sandown last time and is better judged on her handicap debut success at the same course in June, form which has worked out well (second, third and fourth have all won since). Mudbir will be a threat if getting the breaks from stall one, while Consolidation, Headmaster and Miami Matrix are others to consider.
