Prize Dancer was a useful staying handicapper on the Flat last term winning a Salisbury maiden before reaching a place in a kempton 14f handicap off a mark of 75. However, the son of Suave Dancer showed nothing over timber in two previous outings last winter and looks on the downgrade judged on recent efforts back on the level. So TEAMtalk preference is for Mamideos who can make a winning debut over hurdles in a weak affair. The Tom George-trained five-year-old lacks a recent outing but displayed plenty of ability when landing a Chepstow bumper in March. The gelding stayed on strongly over two miles on soft ground at the Welsh track and should have no difficulty with this significant step up in trip. Ratified is an exposed plater and looks very opposable while the rest are hard to fancy.
