Tinsmith won over 1m6f at Chelmsford last month but Dancing Master scored over track and trip with Mood For Mischief in close attendance and makes more appeal. ROBEAM (NAP) struggled in soft ground over 2m2f at Pontefract recently but had earlier beaten Flying Standard, Tibbie Dunbar and Barca when winning over track and trip and Brian Ellison’s charge returns to the Tapeta only 2lb higher. Alambrista should be noted stepping up in trip for Sir Mark Prescott’s yard.
