ELNADANCER showed enough on his debut over 6f here to suggest he can win at this level. Bred to excel over longer trips, Alan Swinbank's charge can put his experience to good use here. Newcomers from powerful northern yards line-up against him and include Burning Blaze, a brother to a two-year-old winner and Simply Shining, who hails form last year's winning stable. Hunting Rights is an American bred related to Graded winners and so is Zadig while Foolbythepool is a brother to all-weather winner Sonsie Lass and can't be ignored.
