      Verdict

      HIGHLIFE DANCER bounced back to form with a victory at Bath last Friday. Mick Channon's charge can defy a 6lb penalty and go in again up against distinctly modest opponents. Royal Defence could prove the best of them as he finished runner-up at Lingfield last time, albeit in soft ground, and it was also testing going when Beacon Lady went close over track and trip last year. The remainder have little to recommend them unless Revert finds a big improvement on her handicap debut.
