    Verdict

    FOR A DANCER, Mossman Gorge and Boogie Dancer catch the eye here, with For A Dancer the selection. Mossman Gorge was landing his first contest for 18 months when taking a little handicap on the all-weather at Lingfield recently. He had only just returned from a lay-off but seems well. His last outing over hurdles resulted in a win, but that Lingfield contest looked very poor, and it would be risky jumping to far-reaching conclusions on that evidence. Boogie Dancer¿s two recent wins have come as a result of astute placing, and this race looks more competitive. However, his confidence will have been lifted and he can hit the frame. For A Dancer was a decisive winner on his handicap bow last time, seemingly leaving previous form well behind. Taking a chance that his win was in a decent affair, For A Dancer, very lightly raced, seems to be well treated, and can follow up.
