Verdict

Tough race. ICE SYMPHONY (3) doesn't win out of turn but has been threatening throughout this campaign. Kept fresh and should be blending in at just the right time from his draw. HARMONIC DANCER (12) returns and has proven a rather frustrating horse for punters, sent out favourite in all six career starts for just the one success. Has jumped out well in readiness. Are you ready to hurt again? ALL SHOT (9) is in red-hot touch as he shoots for the hat-trick. Draws to get back again but will be launching late under the lightweight claim. DREAMS FULFILLED (8) has been far from his best in his last two but his first-up effort on the Parks is hard to forget. Worth keeping in mind. ACT NATURAL (5) was the ultimate bridesmaid before finally breaking through back in Jan. Has jumped out well in readiness and will be hoping to go on with the job now.
