Verdict

A chance is taken DANCHEUR will handle the slower ground given she had a subsequent winner back in third when making all at Redcar last time. Any further progress would make her the one to beat in this. Dream Walker scored in heavy going at Yarmouth last month and wasn't disgraced off a higher mark back at the same track while Premier Choice went close over 5f at Musselburgh last month and can also figure. Star City was placed in maiden company recently and Anton Chigurh may improve on his handicap debut along with Dolly Diva.
