Verdict
Three recent winners to consider with TRADITIONAL DANCER getting a speculative vote as Iain Jardine’s charge won a maiden hurdle with the minimum of fuss at Perth recently. Marquis Of Carabas was attempting to concede Going For Broke 12lb when beaten a couple of lengths at Worcester on Friday while Move To The Groove won a novice event at Hexham and both are worthy of consideration. Sweet Holly was a close-up third at Perth on her latest start and may prove best of the remainder with any further improvement.
