Forecasts

Tap Dancer (6/4), Glenridding (11/4), Bownder (4/1), Oasis Sunrise (11/2), Thiscouldbefun (15/2), Premier (12/1), Mister Knockout (14/1)

This drop back in trip won't be an issue for TAP DANCER, who opened her account in good style over 10.2f here three weeks ago and makes her nursery debut off what looks a workable mark. Glenridding is likely to emerge as the main danger, with Mister Knockout feared most among the others.
