Kentucky Bullet, Dances With Angels and Escalade are all worth a kind word here and we will take a chance on the former. Tony Newcombe's nine-year-old beat all bar the gambled on Dafa here last time over a slightly longer trip. He is on a long losing run but this looks a very weak affair and is worth a speculative vote. Escalade finished a couple of lengths behind the selection in that contest and should be held again, but he could be vying for a place. Dances With Angels is running well at present and put in another sound display when a close up third behind Mr Dip. She also has a recent one next to her name which is more than can be said for the rest of this bunch. Fairy Monarch would have a squeak on the best of his form and is another worthy of a mention, but on this occasion we will side with Kentucky Bullet
