Seems to be quite the hit-and-miss type in her career to date and she may be worth taking a chance on in this weak affair, off a lenient looking handicap mark.

Bit of a Fontwell specialist and ran well at that course again last time. Consistent sort generally and should go well again but doesn't look like she's on a particularly generous handicap mark.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-13| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott| OR:  111
5/1
Failing to finish a race in recent times and tailed off last time. On a decent mark is she can return to the form that saw her win at Aintree but that was nearly a year ago now and she's been very poor in all her efforts since.

Winner of a point-to-point on her second start in that sphere but pulled up at Towcester on rules debut. Has slowly built upon that but not quite shown enough to be of interest in this and may want further than this trip.

9/2
Good ground Huntingdon winner at the start of the season but has lost her way a little since and looks high enough in the handicap for now.

13/8
Lost her maiden tag on yard debut at Wetherby last time but 7lb rise looks a little harsh and not sure to be as well suited by this tight track. Interesting to see if she can back that up and trainer has a good record with last time out winners (23.08%).

Unplaced on all 12 starts and can often make jumping errors as seen at this course on her last two runs.

Forecasts

Jester Jet (13/8), Marvellous Monty (11/4), Midnight Gem (9/2), Popping Along (5/1), Leaderofthedance (5/1), Kentford Heiress (7/1), Over To Midnight (14/1), Ballela Magic (18/1), Jaunty Clementine (33/1)

Verdict

LEADEROFTHEDANCE is far from consistent but if he's on a going day he looks like a well-handicapped horse. Jester Jet finally got off the mark last time but may not be quite as well suited to this track so she may not be one to go overboard with. Marvellous Monty is another who struggles for consistency but she has been running okay without getting her head in front.
