Verdict
DANCING MASTER returned to action with a second at Salisbury on his handicap debut and first start in cheekpieces - Roger Teal’s charge may come good in a weak contest. Twilley wasn’t beaten far here last time despite finishing only fifth but Scheherazade has more to find. Largo Bay and Tinchoo may both improve for this longer trip while Monjazaat is fitted with headgear for her handicap bow and better is expected.
