DANCING BRAVE BEAR made a winning start over 7f at Lingfield in December when giving the impression today’s extra distance would suit. That’s the strongest form on offer and Ed Vaughan’s filly is preferred to Dillie Dallie and Trump Alexander, who both showed some ability on their respective debuts but disappointed subsequently. Bescaby is related to winners and fellow newcomer Tamaara is worth noting representing powerful connections.
