Wot A Shot finished ahead of Strong Team and An Fear Ciuin here last month. Valentino Dancer was a wide-margin winner at Newton Abbot on his hurdling debut but no match for an easy winner at Kelso next time and looks high enough in the weights on his first run in a handicap. Ardera Cross just held off OROMO over track and trip a couple of weeks ago but Daryl Jacob takes over the reins on the runner-up, who can come out on top this time. Iconic Belle should run her race again but this trip looks too short for Placedela Concorde.
