Verdict
BIG TIME DANCER made all at Beverley a week ago on his debut for Brian Ellison and can defy a penalty dropping down a grade. Norville was ahead of 2013 winner Cheers Buddy when winning over 7f at Ayr while Ted's Brother beat Drinks For Losers a neck at the same track recently. Galilee Chapel amd Wayside Magic have also gone close at Ayr of late while No Refund was narrowly beaten over a shorter trip at Leicester on his latest start. Penelope Pitstop is usually thereabouts but has yet to win in 24 attempts.
