Unexposed maiden. Better effort for this yard when second of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good, 3/1) 23 days ago but drop in trip looks a negative.

Went close at Epsom in July and in better form than recent form figures suggest. Not one to write off back on a winning mark.

Losing run is mounting up but he bounced back to form off reduced mark when ½-length second of 11 to Wreck It Ryley in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 12 days ago and potentially well treated if building on that.

9/4
Lightly-raced filly who added to her Southwell debut success when making a winning handicap debut at Nottingham (6f, good) on penultimate start. Close third in better race than this at Goodwood since and she's a must for the shortlist.

Arrives at the top of his game and resumed winning ways by the narrowest of margins at Southwell 10 days ago. 6 lb rise leaves him vulnerable, however.

Muhaarar colt who showed improved form to win in convincing fashion at Newcastle in December. That form has worked out well but has been off the track since. Market should guide.

Gained just reward for several near misses when winning 11-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 12 days ago by ½ length from It Just Takes Time. Hat a bit in hand that day so she's respected up 5 lb.

Proving expensive to follow but trip was too far at Chester 5 weeks ago. Has joined an in-form yard and return to sprinting may help (free-going sort). Hood back on.

Forecasts

Dance And Romance (9/4), Huddle Up (15/2), Muscika (8/1), Northern Spirit (17/2), Evocative Spark (9/1), Lil Guff (10/1), It Just Takes Time (12/1), Wreck It Ryley (12/1), Fantasy Master (14/1), Roundhay Park (14/1), Modern Times (14/1), The Caltonian (14/1), Dickieburd (16/1), Travis (22/1), Minnesota Lad (25/1), Abate (28/1), Flying Fletcher (28/1), Project Dante (28/1), Late Arrival (33/1), Reigning Profit (40/1), Maxi Boy (40/1), Equiano Springs (50/1)

Verdict

Highly competitive but unexposed 3-y-o DANCE AND ROMANCE finished third in a better race than this at Glorious Goodwood so she could be the answer. Fantasy Master and Huddle up are threatening to come good soon so they head the dangers.
