In depth
Verdict
Misty Dancer was most impressive when beating Pitminster in what looked a decent event at Taunton and he can follow up at the expense of Kaparolo and Barracat. Misty Dancer was a fair performer on the flat and was well supported when winning on his hurdles debut, a return to the winners enclosure looks very much on the cards. Kaparolo contested a decent Ascot contest last time and although beaten a fair way in third place holds strong claims in this lesser company. Barracat is a rare hurdling recruit for Barry Hills, he hasn't raced for nearly two years but and warrants plenty of respect having landed a Hereford bumper on his only racecourse outing. With question marks against most of the others Misty Dancer is taken to follow up that Taunton success.
