DRESSED TO DANCE can make the most of the drop in grade and keep the likes of Mutamared and Barbary Boy at bay. Dressed To Dance enjoyed a purple patch in the summer winning five times in seven starts but the exertions and the handicapper have seemingly caught up with her. She has been well held at Great Leighs the last twice but may well be able to get back on track from a decent draw in this company. Mutamared is a leading player on official ratings and should go well despite being drawn low. It's been a while since he's won but he was only just touched off in this grade on his penultimate start. Farthermost is another that may get into the shake-up as may Barbary Boy who was another only narrowly beaten in this grade on his latest start which came over Sandown's stiff five. This is a competitive claimer and the selection's recent form leaves something to be desired but Dressed To Dance has sound claims on the pick of her performances.
