Another competitive handicap where Lucayan Dancer looks good enough to defy a 3lb rise and follow up a recent Chester success, with Fort Churchill likely to go well and Peruvian Prince another for the short list. Lucayan Dancer is already a c&d winner here, so with that plus the fact that he goes on any ground andhe has a decent claimer up, he can score. Fort Churchill beat Lisathedaddy here over 10f on his penultimate start, but he ran here on Tuesday when looking in the grip of the handicapper and despite a drop in class here he may still find winning beyond him. Peruvian Prince is game and consistent and was much closer to the winner in the same race as Fort Churchill the other day and off the same mark he looks a big danger now, while c&d winner Logsdail can go well without winning and Langford is certainly capable of this current mark of 82, so watch for any market moves. However, Lucayan Dancer has some good credentials to bring to the contest and he can go in again.
