ON WITH THE DANCE is only a pound higher than when second to Harry Bosch over track and trip at the start of month and is fancied to go one better in a race that probably isn't as competitive as the numbers suggest.

Mahadee might have place claims while Jonjo O'Neill is on a but of a roll at the moment so Bankroll might be worth a second look but Poor Duke has a bit to prove after his latest effort.
