Race preview
It is hard to oppose VEE DANCER after the Irish raider added his name to an increasing list of horses to land a gamble for this yard at Huntingdon last week. The six-year-old escapes a penalty for that win and can prove too strong for Roccowithlove, who returns from a lengthy break but was on the up when last seen. Terrierman showed much more on his second start for this stable at Exeter and is another to note.
