A competitive handicap in which plenty can be given a chance. STRICTLYADANCER shaped quite nicely at Haydock last time, that his first run after wind surgery, and is worth a chance to build on that for a trainer with a good record here. Game Line, Robin of Sherwood and Magic River head the many dangers.
