DANCE CARD is our idea of the most likely winner though She's In The Money and Leonid Glow have shown plenty to like about them in recent runs. George Foster's filly went into many notebooks after a promising run at Pontefract in a first time tonguestrap and she went on to confirm that impression with victory at Newcastle next time out. If she can be campaigned handily, there is a very reasonable case to believe that she will follow up. It would be no surprise to see Richard Fahey lining up a couple of smart sorts for this meeting so the market is watched with reference to She's In The Money. A beaten favourite on her most recent start, there is enough in the pedigree to suggest that she will handle today's surface. Leonid Glow has become something of a regular at Newcastle. Both she and Misphire are watched in the market. Bere Davis looks to have plenty on for earlier handicap successes. Stellite ran on into the places over a mile on his most recent start though the veteran is better known over seven furlongs. Brushing won a maiden at 50/1 at Yarmouth. The second has gone on to score at that track since albeit making very hard work of it. Mujaadel is potentially still well handicapped on some of his juvenile form. He has won on fast ground though has shown ability on softer. Izzibizzi has shown little this term though the handicapper is finally granting some respite. Dance Card is the pick.
