        Verdict

        It was only a seller that HIGHLIFE DANCER won at Ripon in April and he didn't have to run up to his best to win it. He'll need a bit more back in a handicap but looks capable of finding it in this modest company and Mick Channon's charge gets the nod. Roman Flame has placed efforts over a mile that entitle him to consideration, while Lady Gabrielle should be capable of better on her handicap debut and the same comment applies to Around The Clock, who stood little chance in a hot maiden at Newmarket last time.
