Bodfari Signet, Jallastep and Sting Like A Bee all have claims in this handicap but Moscow Dancer is in the form of his life at present and is taken to defy a 7lb penalty for his most recent success. Peter Monteith's gelding has come back well after a wind operation with two recent wins at Kelso, latterly a week ago when running out a 20-length winner of a similar contest. The extra two furlongs should not inconvenience the son of Moscow Society, who looks ahead of the handicapper at present. Sue Bradburne's Bodfari Signet has shown a consistent level of form this season and is entitled to be thereabouts again, while Jallastep has to be respected, if fit enough for his reappearance although a 10lb rise for winning over course and distance when last seen a year ago looks harsh. Sting Like A Bee was still there with every chance when falling three out over course and distance two starts ago but disappointed last time and is another worthy of a mention along with the consistent Radar but Moscow Dancer won with plenty in hand last time and can defy his penalty.
