In depth
Verdict
Orange Dancer, Polliwilline and Pirouetting are three to consider here with preference for Orange Dancer. Pirouetting is a daughter of Pivotal and this Barry Hills newcomer can be expected to be ready for her introduction. This is a wide open affair with more questions than answers and she will be worth watching. Polliwilline was fifth of six on her debut and will improve on that but needs to. Orange Dancer made a promising debut at Newbury and can be expected to improve on that effort. It probably represents the best form in the race and if you must have a bet Orange Dancer looks the one to be on.
