Formscan - CAYMAN DANCER was too free on his Plumpton comeback, but had a hood removed for his next start at that circuit and was given a well-judged ride by Freddie Mitchell to win with plenty up his sleeve. On that evidence, a 7lb penalty shouldn't inconvenience him and he can force recent C&D runner-up Gallivanted to settle for the same position. Virtual Rock failed by just a neck to make it three from three since joining the Des Donovan team so he has to be given maximum respect.
