In depth
Verdict
An earlier winner at Pontefract, Vanitas could only manage fourth at Catterick last time. IRIS DANCER went close in a higher grade sprint at Hamilton on her first start for a new yard and can go one better in this as Arion Fox and Alex Gracie disappointed on their latest outings having both finished runner-up before that while Navajo Spring’s earlier success at Redcar came over the minimum trip.
