Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (12/1) at Musselburgh (7f, good) on return 36 days ago, just holding on. Profile is a positive one so remains of interest.

Form: 01048-7

Iris Dancer^b²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: T Davidson| OR: 62| CD

14/1

C&D winner last summer off 68. 20/1, not seen to best effect when ninth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago, not clear run. Blinkers back on. Needs considering.

Form: 85700-9

Forecasts

Mostar Dreams (11/4), Sacred Falls (7/2), Jonny Concrete (4/1), Kings Merchant (9/1), Act Of Violence (9/1), True Promise (9/1), Kats Bob (14/1), Iris Dancer (14/1), A Girl Named Ivy (20/1), May Blossom (28/1)

JONNY CONCRETE confirmed he's still on the upgrade when making a winning return at Musselburgh and shades the vote over last year's winner Sacred Falls, who stepped up on her comeback to score at Catterick. Kings Merchant is a potential danger if responding to headgear.
