None of these have experience of the Fibresand so it could pay to stick with the best recent form. That belongs to DALMARELLA DANCER, who found only one too good at Wolverhampton on her reappearance. Puppet Theatre has shown little in either start on the Polytrack though she's not easily written off, especially if coming in for support. The same goes for Miss Lucy Jane, third at Leicester in September, while the newcomers Moonwood and Lady Jamesway further complicate matters in a race where the betting is likely to provide valuable clues.
