PYRRHIC DANCER won an amateurs race here last month with Brave Display not far behind in third. The latter has gone close again subsequently and the former is taken to confirm running. Weloof is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best while the veteran Kenstone placed over track and trip on his penultimate start and Marisitta is fitted with blinkers in the hope of improvement.
