The Some Dance Kid carries a penalty for winning at Catterick and that should hand the advantage to LILY’S GEM. The Irish mare found only one too good on last month’s visit to this venue when clear of the rest and that looks stronger form than Dizzy Chief’s placed effort at Market Rasen. Pieceoftheaction has won three point-to-points but debuts under Rules along with Geordielandgangsta, a runner-up between the flags in Ireland and now with Rose Dobbin.
