BUTTERFLY DANCER showed her first sign of form on her handicap debut at Dundalk and though conditions will be very different she's expected to make further progress and defy her big weight. She had Crafty Codger and Greanta behind in that latter event and should have few problems confirming the form and can also take care of the disappointing Keyword, though David Wachman's colt should do better on this easier ground. Victory Rich did better at Sligo on only his third start when Moonmeister and Fix It were behind, though he doesn't look particularly well handicapped.
