In depth
Verdict
Bo Dancer took a recent ¿5000 race at Cartmel but they went a slow pace on that day and whether the form truly stands up is open to question. Glendamah has performed creditably at lesser level and should possess the raw speed to go close. Heathyards Tipple won under a positive ride from Warren Marston last time out and the handicapper has only put him up 6lb for the victory. She is no great shakes but looks the percentage call in a difficult finale.
