    Verdict

    A conditional's 5lb allowance helps reduce GOODBYE DANCER's penalty for winning at Leicester on Wednesday. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge scored by five lengths and should make another bold bid. The Mad Well travels over from Ireland after a third at Cork and makes more appeal than Volcanic, a winner over fences in August and back on a winning mark. Golden Milan is now 13lb higher than his success at Ffos Las back in March and has something to prove.
