Ellens Way’s run at Fontwell was too bad to be true but this represents a relatively quick turnaround. STYLISH DANCER (NAP) could be thrown in on her chasing bow given she won off this mark over hurdles at Hereford last week with the proverbial ton in hand. Agent Valdez and Happy News have experience on their side and Annie Day deserves a change of fortune having been badly hampered at Fakenham 11 days ago when well supported.
