Not much in the way of recent form to go on in this opener so we'll take a chance on the fitness of ROGUE DANCER. He ran well on his reappearance last year after a lay-off and can race off the same mark as when second at Wincanton in October - this stiff course should bring his stamina into play. Recent Chepstow second Pennant Dancer may be the danger ahead of course winner Warsaw Pact, though Canarbino Girl has hinted at ability and is still slipping down the weights. Occasionally Yours was third here last month but reverted to type last time at Fakenham.
