Darsi Dancer is back on a decent mark and a course and distance winner, though might find the ground too tacky. Emma Todd’s claim will help offset Catterick winner Redkalani’s penalty but he is giving 24lb to Spring Over, who has finished twice at Ayr this year. The Bishop dotted up reverting to hurdles at Ayr last time and has won around here over fences, though is another carrying a penalty. Veteran BESCOT SPRINGS has won twice in this grade under Alexander Thorne this season. He was probably aiming a little high last time at Ayr and can get back on track against these.
