La Isla Bonita won nicely at Yarmouth recently but was due to run at Wetherby yesterday evening and SHOWDANCE KID looks a safer bet. The latter bids for a hat-trick having landed a double on the all-weather and can effectively race off a lower mark than when scoring at Wolverhampton with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account. Roys Dream went close over 6f here last time and has only her second start over 7f but it’s difficult to make a case for any of the remainder.
