Verdict
Highlife Dancer is fast approaching his 100th start and has won 16 times so can never be ruled out in these very low-grade handicaps. Sexy Secret won a Class 5 handicap over the course and distance in July and is just 1lb higher so should make a bold bid to return to winning ways. Chestnut Storm has been tried over further since staying on over 1m4f at Beverley and might find this on the short side so this can go to FRIVOLOUS PRINCE. David Evans' charge has won a couple of races from this sort of mark and with his young rider's claim to help he's taken to land a very moderate handicap.
