Triple Dip showed that this sort of trip and fast ground brings out the best in her when she made all at Bath last week. She arrives with a penalty but looks certain to be competitive again. Glorious Dancer has more to do than when beating three rivals at Chelmsford but the progressive Thankstomonty can race from the same mark as when just outpaced by Peterhouse at Beverley a week ago and with further progress likely will make a bold bid to go one better. Sir Lancelott has gone up 8lb for a convincing victory over Chilworth Bells and LOOM OF LIFE (NAP) at Newcastle earlier this month. The runner-up has won subsequently and the third, who was having just his fourth start and his first since August, can take his revenge on the revised terms and gain his first success.
