Sea Me Dance placed over a shorter trip at Kempton but Artisan Dancer was second over track and trip last time. Two Past Eight has own over hurdles since last seen on the Flat but KITTY FOYLE (NAP) was beaten only a length at Lingfield for an in-form yard on her handicap debut and this extra distance will suit. Charlie's Yard won a selling handicap at Beverley in July and debuts for a new yard.
