Verdict
Ossie's Dancer beat Laughton Park and Mercers Court, who didn't run badly at Market Rasen on Friday, over track and trip last month and was taking on better opposition next time at Sandown. But Martin Smith's charge has plenty to find with JAYO TIME (NAP) on the form book and Richard Newland's six-year-old could be the pick of the weights in this ahead of Kempton scorer One Lucky Lady, who is 5lb higher. Blue Bear won a novice event over course and distance in March but has more on his plate in this and Masterful Act is more interesting after running well at Haydock following a win at Huntingdon.
