Verdict
Ossie's Dancer is drifting towards a decent mark and so is King Cool. Kentford Heiress won three times here last summer, though hasn’t raced since December. Land League has shown progressive form in novice and maiden company and now tries his luck in a handicap while Miss Yeats boasts similar credentials. CARNSPINDLE was still green at Exeter earlier this month but Warren Greatrex’ mare was well on top in the closing stages and should be competitive here off a mark of 111.
