In depth
Verdict
Jamil’s run at Hexham will have blown away a few cobwebs and this isn’t as competitive as the numbers would suggest but ATLANTIC DANCER was the only one to make a race of it with favourite Beat Box at Ayr just before Christmas and this easier surface is in his favour. Bashful has undoubtedly improved this season but the drop in trip may not suit Faithfulflyer, though his yard is in fine form.
