Good effort in finishing third of 18 over 1m2f at Cork (good) last time out. Races off the same mark here and is one to note stepping up in distance.

Reddot Dancer^h³⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: L Young| OR: 53| D

Forecasts

Oromo (5/1), Dixie Highway (11/2), Trump Card (6/1), Pari Passu (7/1), Sbraase (7/1), Circling Moon (8/1), Bobeska (12/1), Cool Artist (12/1), Downtown Rebel (14/1), Beat Of The Sea (16/1), Fairy Flute (16/1), Reddot Dancer (20/1), Trade Marked (20/1), Torthai An Ghra (22/1), Go Guarantor (25/1), Any Time (25/1), Yarraman (33/1), Focus Well (33/1), Trissino (33/1)

OROMO ran well to finish runner-up over hurdles recently and he can make a winning return to the Flat by taking this competitive handicap contest. The selection was placed on the AW last month and can get the better of recent winner Dixie Highway who has conditions to suit once more. Top weight Pari Passu can claim third having filled the same position at Cork recently while both Focus Well and Downtown Rebel are others to consider in this.
