Verdict
Dovils Date has been hurdling since landing a double on the Flat early this year including a win over 2m at Chepstow. Wordiness has won twice over 2m this season and an apprentice’s allowance helps his cause while Avenue Des Champ went close over a shorter trip at Chelmsford recently but previous attempts at 2m fail to boost confidence. STYLISH DANCER (NAP) steps up in distance for her handicap debut and a chance is taken on Luca Cumani’s filly lasting home having finished six lengths clear of the rest when runner-up over 1m4f last month.
