In depth
Verdict
Glen Countess won at Cartmel and Market Rasen in early summer but then lost her way and has been absent since finishing tailed off at Worcester in July. DANCING DAFFODIL doesn't look badly treated on her hurdles form and goes well in soft ground. She could be worth an interest in this as Quantique didn't get far on her chasing bow at Ludlow and neither Tea Caddy nor Go Annie have shown a great deal so far.
