Micky Hammond has his string in rampant form and DANCEINTOTHELIGHT can add to the tally here. He had quite a bit in hand when scoring smoothly at Sedgefield in late April over this trip, since when he's been a beaten favourite back on the level. Put a line through that race though as it was a really messy affair and is best ignored. Trip and ground are ideal now and the talented Jamie Bargary claims a valuable 7lb. Miss Macnamara wins in her turn on the Flat but has yet to do likewise over timber in five starts, although she was only a head away from doing so at Carlisle last time when when well supported. She is essential shortlist material off a 3lb higher mark. Saver is lightly-raced but looks limited at present whilst Prince Of Pirates is plummeting down the weights and would trouble them all if regaining something of his former spark when with Nicky Henderson.
