Tommys Geal has won on the Polytrack here and twice at Brighton, which is not dissimilar in nature to the round course here. Michael Madgwick's filly should go well and another Brighton specialist, Roly Tricks, also has claims. Mr Rock will have needed last month's run at Windsor but HIGHLIFE DANCER can rack up win number 17 with Silvestre De Sousa taking over the reins. He was below par at Chepstow six days ago but thrives on racing and still isn't badly treated.
