Something of a merciful release as a dire card reaches its finish and BOOGIE DANCER is the token selection at the expense of Tayarat and Massini Moon. Stuart Howe's mare is exposed as ordinary but she ran her best race for some time at Taunton and is worth another try against such badly out of form opposition. Tayarat is noteworthy as an inmate of Evan Williams' stable. He has taken on much stronger novices than these. Massini Moon is unproven on a quick surface. His yard have plundered plenty of these contests in the past. Bosamcliff seemed to show improved form for a drop in trip but this season has been a wretched one for the Brendan Powell stable. Cash For Honours was a beaten favourite at Warwick and isn't sure to be suited by today's quicker surface. The end of a desperate card and in a race where plenty have obvious negatives, we pin our colours to the mast of Boogie Dancer.
