GLORIOUS DANCER is getting closer and found only one too good at Lingfield last week - Ed Walker's colt may come good now handicapping. Gabrial The Tiger and Azamaara are other handicap debutants to note but Wink Oliver was beaten off today's mark last time having won over track and trip before that. Eatsleepracerepeat is proving disappointing but an apprentice takes 3lb off his back for this and he's preferred to Saltarello, who has run his best races over 6f so far.
