        Verdict

        GET UP AND DANCE (NAP) is something of an unknown factor having followed a close second on her debut at Doncaster with a very impressive victory here last month. She had a 70-rated performer five length back in second and, though receiving 5lb, connections must believe she's been leniently treated on 75 and she has to be the selection. Highly Sprung has already had three runs this month and been getting caught in the closing stages while it was a very moderate handicap that Rococoa won at Nottingham. Les Eyre has booked Paul Hanagan for Van Gerwen, a winner at Thirsk last month and not beaten far behind Dutch Mist here since. Geno scored over Beverley's stiff 5f but was beaten quickly over that trip at Newmarket.
