6/5

Made the most of a good opportunity back in maiden company 5-runner affair at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to firm, evens) 22 days ago, making most and drawing clear straight. Has to be respected under a penalty in another thin race.

Some promise in a pair of bumpers and showed more than on hurdling debut when second of 8 in a C&D novice (good) 17 days ago, best work finish. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Failed to progress from debut when fourth of 5 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good) 38 days ago. Makes hurdle bow. Improvement needed.

Those with experience don't set the bar all that high, so SUN DANCER GIRL, a likeable and fairly useful performer on the Flat, is taken to make a winning start over hurdles for her new connections. The penalised Sergeant Fury is feared most.
