Cheherazad's recent third at Doncaster is the best piece of form on offer. However, that run came over 7f and, given she's likely to start a short-price here, it could pay to take her on with FESTIVAL DANCE. The latter showed a big improvement on her debut effort when third over today's trip at Windsor last month and, with further progress likely, Ron Hodges' filly is worth chancing. She had both Hollie and Adaeze behind last time and there's no reason why they should reverse running, while Sarangoo will need to step up on her recent placed efforts at this track if she's to figure.
