Formscan - Bashful posted another creditable effort in defeat when finishing third at Catterick on New Year's Day and is likely to be involved once more. However, ATLANTIC DANCER makes greater appeal after a fine second on her recent reappearance at Ayr and, with any natural improvement, she looks the one to beat running off the same mark. Barnabas Collins is an intriguing runner on his handicap debut and is another to consider with Brian Hughes now returning to the saddle.
