Another wide open event and we will take a chance with Dispol Katie, Nightstrike and Forces Sweetheart are two others expected to go well. David Barron's five-year-old put a few poor efforts behind him when finishing an excellent third behind today's rival Word Perfect at Ayr last time. She is six pounds better off this afternoon and it should be enough to reverse the form. Forces Sweetheart has rattled up a hat-trick and if the stable was in better form she would have been a stronger fancy. With that in mind Nightstrike may be the more potent threat. Her last two efforts have been dire but there may have been something amiss and so she is much better judged on her previous success in a Chepstow maiden, when cantering to victory. Dance To The Blues looks the best of rest, but if Dispol Katie is back to her best she will take some beating.
