Almaty Star beat little when landing the odds in a maiden race at Lingfield and encounters soft ground for the first time back in a handicap. Pop Dancer won a lower grade sprint at Brighton while KODI DANCER debuted for new connections over 6f at Doncaster. But he won twice over the minimum trip when trained in Ireland and could go close in this. Level Up has won three times this year but Simple Man is less exposed and will handle the soft going.
