Some familiar names line up for this five-furlong sprint handicap although with only the 13 runners it should not be the toughest of such races to solve this term. Dancing Mystery has been a model of consistency over recent seasons but is now paying the price for that, while Smart Predator did nothing but improve last term but is also high in the weights now as a result. Ellens Academy has not won for over a year but has his favoured fast ground for his reappearance and should not be discounted. Kyllachy looked potentially group class when winning at Sandown last year and if in the same mood on this faster ground could be interesting.
