Graceful Dancer has been a reverlation since switched to long distance races and can notch her third win from her last four starts. Charlie Morlock's mare won at Taunton last time with a little more in hand than the official winning margin would suggest and looks capable of defying a further rise in the handicap in this weak affair. Pack Leader has shown nothing in novice events to date and returns from an absence of over three months but hails from a top yard in good form and races off a plater's mark so has to be respected. Great crusader won nicely on this track last month but was beaten off his revised mark next time and lacks the scope of the selection so Miss Woodstick, who shaped promisingly last time, looks best of the remainder.
