Roger Fell has his team in cracking shape this week and DAPPER MAN is expected to go close for the yard. The stable seems to excel with sprinters and this Dandy Man gelding has struck a rich vein of form on recent starts. He inevitably continues to ascend the ratings but his latest run when a close second at Pontefract, for which he's up another 2lb, suggests his form is not plateauing off. He gets on extremely well with Ben Sanderson. Kingstreet Lady is consistent and should deliver a sound account in receipt of weight all round, whilst it would be dangerous to allow Seamster an easy lead. It would also not surprise to see an improved effort from Musharrif now he's a couple of runs on the board this term.
