Dance The Mambo gets the vote over Loy's lad, with Shulmin bets of the rest. Dance The Mambo is one of the younger brigade here and has more scope than most. Mick Easterby's charge finished third stayed on at the one pace when third to Andrea Gale at Sedgefield recently, and with the step up in trip to help, can make a bold bid to open his account. Loy's Lad has won here in the past, and Ferdy Murphy has his string in good order, so despite an absence, he can go well, while Shulmin has a light weight and although inconsistent, can also figure off his light weight. The rest are hard to fancy, and for the winner we return to Dance The Mambo.
