Verdict
QIBTEE won one of these off a higher mark here last year and was second in another at Pontefract recently. Les Eyre's charge is difficult to oppose if he gets the runs of the race as though Highlife Dancer is consistent at this level he doesn't win very often nowadays. Dream Serenade hasn't shown much so far in maidens but this is a weak handicap and she's preferred to Fledermaus and the remainder.
