Race preview
DANCINGINTHEWOODS made a pleasing reappearance at Newmarket where he finished fourth in a stronger contest. Dean Ivory's gelding is the only previous C&D winner in the line-up and, akin to last season, he can strike second time out. Crazy Luck was a model of consistency last campaign and there should be races in him from today's mark of 80. Pam Sly saddled two winners at this venue on their first meeting of the year and she brings Dazzling Dan, who looks likely to be involved now 1lb below his last winning mark. Al Simmo was progressive last season and is another to consider.
