Verdict
Oso Rapido ended last season with a victory over 7f at Redcar in September while No Nay Bella has the more recent form with February’s success in novice company at Kempton. But FOLK DANCE (NAP) wasn’t beaten that far despite finishing only seventh on last month’s handicap debut at Doncaster and David Simcock’s filly could make a bold bid dropping down in class for this. Dashing Roger has something to prove over this far while En Famille’s third at Leicester came over 1m4f.
