MEDICI DANCER is perfectly at home in testing ground and after a couple of placed efforts on a faster surface at Thirsk, Tim Easterby's filly gets the vote to come out best. She's preferred to Mash Potato who is upped in the weights and dropping back in distance after scoring at Newcastle last time. A winner over 7f, Thankyou Very Much has something to prove though has plenty of scope while both Lucy Bee and Just A Pound would prefer quicker ground. Trixie Malone made the frame in a seller back in May and will find this tougher on her return.
