Dance To My Tune has looked a shade unfortunate in two starts previously this season and is taken to gain a deserved success at the main expense of High Reserve and Boppys Princess. The selection had little chance behind the well-handicapped Greenwich Meantime on her reappearance in an apprentices' handicap at Doncaster last month (the pair clear) before being given too much to do behind Authority at Yarmouth. The handicapper has been fair in raising the filly just 1lb for those two starts and with ground conditions to suit, she looks to hold solid claims of taking full advantage of a decent draw. Friends Hope has been performing well on the all-weather tracks recently and has claims off her current mark back on turf but has yet to prove her effectiveness on ground this soft, while Charnock Bates One gave little cause for optimism on her return. More solid claims are held by Boppys Princess, who is set to go up 5lb in future handicaps following her latest third over course and distance. Richard Fahey has his string in good form at present and the daughter of Wizard King will not mind any further ease in the ground. She rates a bigger threat than the reappearing High Reserve, who should go on the ground but looks to face no easy task giving weight away on her handicap debut.
