There should be more to come from Windsor second Gifted Dancer now she tackles handicap company while Damask ran well here on her second start, though was disappointing at Newbury next time. Baltic Fizz, Middleton Flyer and Aquasulis look capable of making their presence felt again, but Midas Medusa's last two runs have been well below-par and she is now tried in blinkers. Phoenix Clubs won at Carlisle last month but she lacks the scope of THREE SUGARS. Jeremy Noseda's filly only scrambled home in a Southwell maiden on debut but was very green in the early stages. She stayed on strongly once the penny dropped and can follow up in this slightly better grade.
