All racecards for Saturday 31st October
We said3rd of 5, beaten 6½ at 7/2
DANCE AND GLANCE 3/1
DANCE AND GLANCE at 3/1, Anthony Honeyball and Rex Dingle, just about gets the nod. He drops in grade after running 3rd in a Class 1, beaten 1.75L, drops to Class 3, was staying on at the finish last time and makes his first start since a wind operation.
The one worry is off the track a while.
JET TO VEGAS rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 131 and runs off 135 — up 4lb.
The dangers are MERELY A DETAIL at 17/2 (staying on last time) and GLYNN BRAE at 4/1.
