Verdict
Atlantic Dancer blotted her copybook at Ayr last month in a race in which Racks Cross finished fourth. The latter still has a bit of scope while She's A Rocca went close at Doncaster and is only a pound higher with Brian Hughes keeping the partnership intact. Oot Ma Way has finished second twice at Musselburgh and was only beaten a short-head on the latter occasion but she may be too close in the weights to TARAGRACE with Peter Kavanagh claiming 7lb off the latter. Donald McCain’s mare was a ready winner of a novices’ handicap at Doncaster at the end of January and looks to be back on track.
