No No Cardinal was only beaten a short-head at Worcester last month but, like Golan Dancer, struggles to get his head in front. Goonjim is only a couple of pounds higher than when scoring at Plumpton in March and has been placed three times since. Show's Over may still be a few pounds too high, however, and Court In Session’s Kempton second came over hurdles. GUANCIALE was back on-song at Worcester last time when tackling quicker ground and gets a tentative vote today ahead of recent hurdles winner Ladies Dancing.
