Practicallyperfect, Bartercard and Willow Dancer all boast recent winning form here, with Willow Dancer the selection. A winner at Southwell in April, Bartercard had turned in a couple of disappointing efforts before bouncing back to form with a win at Salisbury recently. He is allowed to run off a two pound lower mark here as his all-weather rating his lower, and he cann go well. After winning a Beverley maiden early on in his career, Practicallyperfect lost his way thereafter, until winning a seller on his re-appearance, in his first attempt at that level. He made hard work of what should have been a straightforward success and he is opposed. After slipping down the handicap, Willow Dancer struck winning form at Bath, before running a great race to be second at Windsor last time, behind a well touted winner. He runs off the same mark here, wearing the cheekpieces which have evoked his recent improvement, and Willow Dancer can knock his rivals for six.
