It's now fourteen runs since her last win, and cheekpieces tried when unseated rider 9th in handicap chase at Market Rasen 7 days ago. Back over hurdles with plenty to prove.

Low-mileage mare who posted good third in 21f handicap hurdle here 37 days ago. That form is working out well, so she merits serious consideration off a 3 lb lower mark in her bid for a first win.

Off 8 months before pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f) 68 days ago. Fair 3m winner at her best, but she needs to bounce back.

Well supported when below-form sixth in handicap hurdle at Kelso (18.1f) 48 days ago. Hood on now and may still do better for good yard.

Respectable fifth of 14 in 2m handicap hurdle at Kelso 30 days ago. A bit more is needed if she is to get back to winning ways, however.

Forecasts

Southeast Rose (9/2), Your Place (5/1), Atlantic Dancer (11/2), Bonny Houxty (6/1), Sophie Olivia (6/1), Desaray Girl (7/1), Racks Cross (17/2), Whoa Black Betty (12/1), Gine Sacre (16/1), Etoile D'ecosse (28/1), Deauville Society (100/1), That's My Dubai (100/1), Nordic Express (200/1)

Verdict

ATLANTIC DANCER posted a good third off a 3 lb higher mark here last month so she gets the nod with that form working out well and few miles still on the clock. Bonny Houxty also has been shown some respite by the official assessor on the back of her good Newcastle fourth and is next on the list ahead of the well-weighted maiden Your Place.
