WILL HE DANCE showed improved form last time to finally get off the mark and he can go on to follow up given the manner of his victory. The 4-y-o travelled well through the race at Musselburgh so he looks set to give another good account with the drop back in trip to suit. The lightly-raced City of Life is feared most ahead of handicap-debutante Birdie Putt.
