Verdict

Highlife Dancer landed an apprentices' handicap at Leicester last week and should confirm that form with third Corn Maiden on identical terms. The top weight is the only one of these with recent winning form but we're inclined to give one final chance to BETHAN with Shelley Birkett back in the saddle. The pair went very close at Southwell in March. Brown Pete usually finds at least one too good but Red Catkin should improve for her run here two weeks ago and has fair claims.
