I AM DANDY has been placed over a mile here the last twice and was beaten only a nose over 7f at Musselburgh in August. James Ewart’s charge may prove best of these if the first-time tongue-tie has the desired effect. Mr Potter’s earlier success at Chelmsford came over 6f but Betty Grable was placed over track and trip last week and can figure with a similar effort. Lucky Robin has been winning over hurdles since joining Brian Ellison and is worth a second glance back on the Flat at this lowly level.
