Few make much appeal and it could pay to stick with ROYAL DANCER. The latter finally opened his account when landing an apprentices’ race at Brighton a week ago and Sylvester Kirk’s charge escapes a penalty. Red Gunner has been thereabouts over 1m2f but has yet to race over this far and has just the one win in 33 attempts while winning hurdler Vlannon hasn’t raced since May. Movie Star has yet to win but finished closer at Yarmouth last month and can figure again.
