Irish Dancer is a little hit-and-miss but is a previous winner here and claimer Zak Wheatley, who won on board the run before last at Catterick, is back in the saddle too. Could still have some wriggle room in the handicap, so is considered if you are prepared to forgive the last-time-out run here at the beginning of the month.

Let's suppose the last two runs for MISS WILLOWS were disappointing because the seasonal debut came off a long break, and the step up in grade and drop in trip weren't suitable at Ripon. She drops back down in grade here and gets similar conditions to what she had when winning at Redcar last September. Only a pound higher in the handicap for this, and this looks a weak race for the grade, so she might outrun this price.
