Verdict

DANSE IDOL was one place behind Cedar Valley on return but the latter had the benefit of a recent run which Paul Nicholls' mare did not so she is taken to turn the tables with this longer trip sure to be in her favour now. The younger Cedar Valley should also like this step up in trip however so reversal is far from guaranteed and she too rates a leading player. Printing Dollars is unbeaten in one point-to-point and one bumper and also very much on the shortlist.
  1. Danse Idol
