Yensir is progressing well and his recent defeat of Hatcher was supplemented by the subsequent success of the latter. However, Dan Skelton has a good line to that formline with STYLISH DANCER and the Nathaniel filly is taken to get the better of the topweight in receipt of a stone. She blundered away a winning chance at the final obstacle last time and can gain compensation. Lily Of Leysbourne shaped nicely enough on her first run for her new yard but will need to improve again and Dulwich Hill may find things happening too quickly around this sharp track on her Rules debut.
