In depth
Verdict
This is a good opportunity for some ordinary fillies to pick up some decent prize money. STYLISH DANCER is the least exposed and there should be more to come now she tackles good ground as she raced mainly on Polytrack on the Flat. Hillcrest Fire hinted at a revival in a jumpers’ bumper at Kempton last month while Shine Baby Shine had been progressing nicely before finding Malaya and company too hot in a handicap at Ascot. Foxy Lass has travelled over from Ireland but looks harshly treated on what she has so far achieved. Cubswin probably found the longer trip beyond her at Doncaster in January so looks the pick of the remainder.
