SYLVIES DANCE (NAP) missed the whole of last year but has returned to action in good form and opened her account over hurdles with a novice success at Newton Abbot. The runner-up has won subsequently and Kayley Woollacott’s mare can go close again now handicapping. Broomfields Cave has returned a beaten favourite the last twice now but Kym Eyre has shown improved form over fences and reverts to hurdling with a shout. She's All In Gold hasn’t raced over timber since 2021 but has a couple of recent outings on the Flat under her belt.
