Verdict
Dancing Welcome has returned to action in fine form this year winning both starts over C&D. She may not have finished yet as Jack Duern's claim negates most of a 4lb rise. Blown It is holding his form well and scored over 5f here last time with Lucky Dan behind, while Methaaly can be given a chance off his current mark. However, an apprentices 5lb allowance could give the edge to NIGHT TRADE as she can now race off a 3lb lower mark than when scoring at Leicester in August and went very close on her latest start at Lingfield.
