DANCING SHADOW returned to action with a good effort over course and distance. Narrowly beaten by Caulfields Venture, he’s upped 5lb but Vic Dartnall’s charge should be sharper for that run. Abracadabra Sivola won a novice event at Leicester in March but fell at Uttoxeter back in a handicap and The Italian Yob came a cropper at Haydock in the same month having gone close at Fakenham before that. Wizards Bridge can race off the same mark as when successful over hurdles at Chepstow earlier this month but Albert D'olivate would appreciate some rain back over fences judged on his hurdles win in heavy ground at the same track in March.
