Verdict
Giveagirlachance won a maiden hurdle at Worcester in May and makes her handicap debut on a fair mark. Spa's Dancer has won four times on the Flat and been placed in two of his three starts over hurdles to date. Norse Light won at Ludlow in February while there are possibilities about Belize and Uttoxeter third Breaking Bits but David Pipe has wasted no time putting IMPULSIVE AMERICAN into handicaps after just the two starts over timber. He made favourite Paddy's Runner work hard for victory at Bangor at the start of the month and should go close on this sharper track with his weight-for-age allowance.
