Just A Dancer has the best form of the three runners to have raced previously and gets the vote to go one better than on her debut at Bath in the hope that she is not too short in the market with the newcomers Artistic License and Holly Golightley looking the biggest dangers. The selection has plenty of speed in her pedigree and, having run green for much of the way at Bath, stayed on well when getting the hang of things late on. She should improve for that outing and looks the one that they all have to beat. Ed McMahon's Lake Sabina is bred for more stamina than this trip, while Miss Kin is another that may do better over further in time. Dawn Light showed some promise on her Nottingham debut but a bigger threat may come from Mick Channon's Artistic License, who is a half-sister to the speedy Brandywell Boy. Kevin Ryan's Holly Golightley is also speedily bred and could be good enough to make a winning debut but Just A Dancer looks the safest bet and she gets the vote.
