Last Surprise has every chance at the weights for a yard in flying form but has recorded all four wins so far over 6f and DANCING FEET is preferred. The latter bounced back to form with a convincing victory over today’s trip at Kempton and Archie Watson’s filly is taken to reverse earlier running at the same track with Afraid Of Nothing. The latter came up short in Listed company at Goodwood last time when ahead of Leafhopper and headgear is applied today while Lady Of Aran has a bit to find at the weights on these terms.
