Peter Winkworth's Bush Tucker has shown improvement with each start and has to be respected on his debut in a nursery following his win in a Bath maiden last time but the son of Choisir faces no easy task giving weight away all round on his first start over six furlongs and preference is for MASTER OF DANCE, with Bagamoyo rated the best of the rest. The selection has been slightly disappointing in his last two starts in nurseries but they have both been over seven furlongs and Richard Hannon's colt should appreciate the drop back in trip today so looks worth chancing having been given a chance by the handicapper. Rae Guest's Hill Of Miller has shown some ability and was not disgraced in a valuable contest at Fairyhouse last time so he has to be considered back in this grade. For one with a fair amount of stamina in his pedigree, Ralph Beckett's Radio City has shown a decent amount of speed in his races and it will be interesting to see if he handles the longer trip today. On The Bounty has to be considered with Richard Fahey back among the winners but he would probably prefer a softer surface. Mick Quinlan's More Lashes was highly tried in a Listed race at Newbury last time and may do better in this company but of more interest may be Bagamoyo. James Fanshawe's colt is less exposed than his rivals after just two starts and he looks well enough treated for his first start in a nursery off a mark of 85. Preference though is for the more experienced Master Of Dance, who is taken to resume winning ways.
