Verdict

Dancing Forest gets a narrow vote over Tinian and Feast of Romance in a weak selling affair. Dancing Forest was good enough to land a class E handicap over the course and distance last March, but since gaining that second of two course victories, has failed to progress. However, he showed enough when second to Toy Show over a mile and a quarter here in August to suggest that he is worth sticking with in the belief that he will recapture his form. Feast of Romance was only caught close home at Wolverhampton in November, and a repeat of that should see him go close, while Tinian boasts winning form in Germany and could be better than he has shown so far here. bets are best kept to a minimum, but Dancing Forest is worth chancing.
