      Verdict

      The Defiant had Dancing Mountain behind at Thirsk and DANCING RAVE had Timetodock more than four lengths adrift at the same course, thought that was over 6f. However, a drop back to the minimum shouldn’t faze David O’Meara’s sprinter who can defy his penalty to win the battle of the recent winners. Ginvincible never threatened when second in a modest maiden at Doncaster but still makes more appeal than Montalvan and Muhallab.
