In depth
Verdict
Tap Dance left behind previous moderate efforts when chasing home an odds-on favourite in a novice heat over this course and distance last week and is the TEAMtalk seclection to take advantage of a lowly mark on her handicap bow. Sally Hall's gelding has nothing to fear from Paddies Boy who finished a further three lengths behind and is now 7lb worse off while Danteco has something to prove back over hurdles having come to grief on his last two chase starts and Rugged Man may struggle under top weight.
