Danseuse Volante, Superduper and Scarlet Oak are the trio to look at here, with Danseuse Volante getting the vote to come out on top. Superduper was a consistent two-year-old and shaped well on her re-appearance when third at Brighton. She has been dropped two pounds by the handicapper and can play a part in this open contest. Scarlet Oak showed her ability to handle an easy surface at Leicester last season, and although winless since, she takes on her juniors here and races off only a three pound higher mark than when successful at Leicester. A winner at Fokestone on testing ground, Danseuse Volante ran very well on her re-appearance to be a good second at Lingfield. Three pounds higher here on ground she likes, Danseuse Volante is taken to waltz home.
