Verdict

Sister Sophie has had a run this season but others have more scope. Presenting A Queen had Fancy Your Chances behind when winning a bumper at Newbury in March and followed up at Plumpton when conceding 7lb to runner-up Desert Fortune. But DANCINGONTHEEDGE, a jumps-bred daughter of Kapgarde, made all for an easy success in a Worcester bumper in April and also looks a nice prospect so gets the nod.
