Verdict

A tricky opener with the narrow vote in favour of veteran LOPES DANCER. Successful from a 4 lb higher mark over C&D last year, he added to his tally in a Wolverhampton claimer on his penultimate start. Far from disgraced back here since, he can go well again. Motarajja and Leopolds Rock are just a couple of others to consider.

  1. LOPES DANCER (IRE)
  2. MOTARAJJA (IRE)
