Stamp Of Approval beat Blistering Dancer only a neck when winning at Wolverhampton last month. But the former was over three lengths behind BALLROOM ANGEL at the same track last time. Philip Hide's charge was having her first start since August on that occasion and she can go in again given she looks an improved filly this year. Diamond Vine also fell victim to the selection on his latest start but Top Cop is not badly weighted if at his best and an apprentice's allowance further helps his cause.
