Award Dancer had Enigmatic back in third when scoring over track and trip but SKILLED WARRIOR went close over course and distance before placing over 1m2f here and Grant Tuer’s charge may edge this. Pisanello has been threatening to score at Redcar while Plastic Paddy completed a double on the Polytrack earlier in the year. Golden Sands should be noted debuting for Mick Appleby as the former won at Wolverhampton when last racing on Tapeta.
