Verdict

In a race of little appeal, DANCINGWITHBUBBLES has shown a modicum of form, a repeat of which could be enough to get the better of the likes of Enchanted Approach and Speed Bonnie Boat. Alan King's runner, his only one on the card, has only once been out of the frame on her five starts, and was runner up in a better race than this over course and distance last time out last month. She's one of only three to have a rating, and of the trio she's got the highest. Enchanted Approach is having only her fourth outing, and second over hurdles. Disappointing when sent off favourite on her hurdling debut, she's entitled to come on for that outing. Henry Daly does well at his local track, and Speed Bonnie Boat is showing improvement with each run. Again, lightly raced she was second here last time out in a similar contest. Given that most are fairly unexposed and there could be plenty of improvement to come a check on the market is advised, but we think that first home could be Dancingwithbubbles.
