Dance has performed with credit on her last two starts in similar events and should get into the shake-up as should Neston Grace, a shock winner at Towcester in October before finding trouble in-running at Lingfield. Molly Maid was beaten 15 lengths by Mayfair Music at Fakenham three weeks ago but should improve while Western Diamond is an interesting newcomer for David Evans. BLUE BUTTONS is owned by Richard Barber and looked a really nice prospect when scoring between the flags a month ago so Harry Fry's King's Theatre gelding is taken to make a winning start under Rules.
