DANCING PRIMO is in fine form, as is trainer Mark Brisbourne, and the mare escapes a penalty for her facile success in an apprentices' race at Haydock on Friday. Jamie Spencer takes over the reins and she should prove hard to beat. Lady of Burgundy has more to do than when narrowly landing a maiden over C&D last month though is less exposed than Dark Spirit, who carries 6lb courtesy of her win in a Catterick seller last week for a different yard. Pelham Crescent ran poorly here last time and may struggle to overturn that form with Yes Chef, but Rosairlie could be interesting trying 1m4f for the first time.
