Highlife Dancer has come on in leaps and bounds since landing a Ripon seller earlier in the season but looks to have it all to do under topweight here. Cadore and Glyn Ceiriog, second and third here last time, are handicapped to finish close again while She's Got The Luck could be a more confident filly after getting her head in front last time at Ayr. Sangar has possibilities off a fair mark but RED INCA was much improved by this trip on soft ground at Sandown and there should be more to come after just the five runs. Brian Meehan's charge gets the nod here.
