STRICTLYADANCER was broadly progressive in this sphere last season and he is appealing on the back of an encouraging reappearance at Chepstow a fortnight ago. There are dangers aplenty, headed by the long-absent Marquis of Carabas, for whom market confidence would look significant all things considered. The upwardly-mobile Debden Bank, Carnet de Stage and Redford Road are also shortlisted.
