Verdict
Amasar improved to finish second at Newcastle while Willy Campbell was beaten less than a length when third at Kempton. But DANCINGWITHMYSELF looks likely to appreciate this extra yardage having debuted over 7f here last week and she gets the nod representing last year’s winning yard. Lord Normandy is a brother to a winner in France and is preferred of the newcomers.
