This is something of a lottery but AWARD DANCER drops down a couple of grades having been beaten only a nose at Ripon. Lenny's Spirit went close at Pontefract last time while both Rocket Rod and Anif were beaten less than a length over 7f here. Cabinet Maker, Broctune Red and Bringitonboris can also be given a chance and Under Fox is better than his latest start suggests while Atlanna has more scope than most.
