Verdict
It wasn’t the most competitive of Cheltenham handicaps that STYLISH DANCER won last month but that form still looks head and shoulders above that of her three rivals and she should have few problems with the extra yardage. Lissycasey was just beaten over this trip at Warwick last month while Hurricane Dylan came good at Sedgefield and is generally progressive. Sehayli failed to win in 12 starts on the Flat, mostly on the all-weather, and may have stamina limitations.
