Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Greg Fairley| T: I Jardine| OR: 62

66/1

Iris Dancer^b¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 58| CD

4/1

A 9-time C&D winner. Failed to build on earlier promise when tenth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (6f) 17 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back here though off a handy-looking mark.

Form: 09-2040

Forecasts

Kelpie Grey (9/4), Belsito (4/1), Iris Dancer (4/1), Thunderstorm Katie (11/2), Pickersgill (15/2), Novak (8/1), Wish This (9/1), Impressor (14/1), Carlton And Co (22/1), Invincible Ruby (66/1)

A case can be made for lots of these but it could pay to side with Tristan Davidson's course specialist IRIS DANCER who has slipped to a good mark and is taken to bounce back in style returned here for the first time this season. The Iain Jardine-trained duo Pickersgill and Novak both arrive in very good nick and can chase home the selection in that order.
