Verdict
KING OLAV was beaten by a couple of much higher rated horses when third in a claimer at Lingfield and the veteran should figure again in this with a similar effort. Master Dancer remains 8lb higher than last year’s win at Chepstow but has a recent outing under his belt while Marshall Aid had notched -up a string of placed efforts on the all-weather before well beaten on the Turf at Lingfield last week. The remainder are harder to fancy in their current form.
