Ffos Las winner Street Dance was far from disgraced under a penalty in a better race at Chepstow next time. There is a question mark over the sharper track and faster going here, however, and he could be worth opposing with hurdling newcomer CARTER. Ian Williams' gelding has been in terrific form on the all-weather lately and it would be no surprise to see him transfer that improvement to this new sphere. The others look a modest bunch, though Kalantari may do better now his attention is switched to hurdles.
