Tim Easterby's bumper horses often need a run but Dance And Romance is by top NH sire Kayf Tara out of a mare that won on the Flat and over hurdles, including a Grade 3, so should be worth following. WOOLSTONE ONE was impressive when making a winning start over this trip at Newbury. The front two pulled well clear and Harry Whittington's filly can give the weight away to Passmore, who has found one too good in both start so far and was a little disappointing when odds-on last time at Towcester. Another would benefit from a longer trip and the other pair are best watched making their debuts.
