Dancing Primo last won a race in 2012 on this track and races almost exclusively at Wolverhampton these days. Eloquence showed potential in three maidens and couldn't start off in handicaps off a much lower mark. Glens Wobbly is 5lb higher than when successful over slightly further here last summer, his third victory on the track, but Elysian Fields only had three opponents to beat in a poor maiden at Kempton in December to get off the mark. Stag Hill has been hurdling without much luck and will no doubt be glad to get back on the level and Runaiocht hasn't won in 26 starts. PERFECT RHYTHM is ordinary and has never raced on anything but Polytrack but she's shown a bit of potential and, as this won't take much winning, she's given the nod.
