HUNZA DANCER will definitely improve for her running-on third in a Yarmouth maiden last October and is fancied to get off the mark here at the main expense of Sand Owl, a promising third over 6f at Kempton the same month. Mother Jones ran well on a few occasions last season but lacks the scope of several of today's rivals including Spring Bouquet, second at Ayr last July, and Alkhawarah. Mark Johnston's newcomer is a half-sister to numerous winners including the smart Hayil and it would be no surprise to see her in the firing-line today. Gay Gallivanter was placed at Sandown and Bath last season for John Gosden and Kieren Fallon takes the ride on her first start for Mick Quinn.
