Barry Hills has his team in excellent order at present and the South Bank handler can add to the tally with Donegal Dancer. The son of Spectrum has shown a consistent level of form in useful maiden company and this front runner should prove hard to peg back on a track which will suit ideally. Honorine makes her handicap debut off a fair mark and is likely to appreciate the trip so should go close if fit for her return while Kernel Dowery is another unexposed sort who looks capable of better than she has shown to date. Almond Beach has not been seen in public since disappointing in a minor event last August and is likely to need this under top weight.
