JOKE DANCER has been in good form so far this season and he can record his third C&D victory of the season in this valuable handicap contest. The selection was a winner at Newcastle last time and looks capable of taking this event at the chief expense of top weight Chti Balko who is another to have won over C&D this season. Sleepy Haven placed here back in December and with blinkers applied today he can finish third.
