MERRY DANCER (NAP) is two from two over course and distance with both victories achieved on going with some give. He's only been raised 3lb and credible opposition appears thin on the ground in this. Matidia was runner-upon soft going at Beverley in April and she was then third on the Polytrack when well ahead of Mikro Polemistis. Ralph Beckett's filly looks the danger, though Sisania and Loose Ends are relatively unexposed.
