A good looking contest with plenty of chances. Last years winner Dance King looked on the way back at Haydock three weeks ago and is sure to go well in a repeat bid. Frontispiece, Busy Street and Mulligatawny are in in good form and very much warrant plenty of respect. FRANCIS XAVIER is unbeaten in two starts so far this year and looks firmly on the upgrade. This is only his second start for Kevin Frost and he shapes like this stiff finish will really suit. The four-timer may very much be on the cards.
