Verdict
DANCE DIVA ran green at Redcar late last month but still came home in front and that will have taught her plenty. She may be capable of defying a small penalty though the Dubawi filly Dathanna is another likely improver given she was keen to post and in the race itself on debut at Windsor and was eased in the closing stages. Noble Manners is a bit more exposed but wasn’t beaten far last time at Ayr, despite only finishing sixth, and any market interest in the Sepoy filly Vodka Pigeon should be noted given her yard’s impressive strike rate here.
