DANCES WITH STARS has been narrowly beaten in all three starts on this track and won't get a better chance to lose his maiden tag. Duck And Vanish was twice narrowly beaten when trained by William Haggas and Denis Hogan will find a race for him somewhere though he's been bought for hurdling. Swift Verdict is another who will be seen over obstacles though hasn't shown much in three runs since transferring from John Gosden. The remainder make no appeal.
