Verdict
Ladies Dancing is back on the same mark as when winning this last year. Iniesta is usually thereabouts, as was the case when second here last month. Does It In Style was favourite at Doncaster in January after a second at Leicester but only managed fourth. AMOUR D’OR has shown a little improvement lately and the better ground will suit Gail Haywood’s charge, who gets the vote. The Kid would also have a chance on his best form.
