Dance And Glance could be the horse to benefit from the handicapper on Saturday. The runner was an impressive winner at Ascot on 19 December and now returns to the track after previously fending off eighteen runners. That was in a handicap hurdle and the six-year-old ran well in the Lavazza Handicap Hurdle at the same track.
Knickerbockerglory was second in a first outing of the campaign when Dan Skelton's charge was narrowly beaten by Go Dante at Sandown Park in early December. The previous year, the horse won the same race and that was followed by solid efforts at Windsor, Plumpton and Sandown, with a lot of weight to handle over two miles.
Go Dante is another ten-year-old at the top of the weights, with Olly Murphy having seen his charge win two of the previous three outings. The December win at Sandown saw Knickerbockerglory beaten into second and the runner might also appreciate the firming ground, with a March success at Sandown also suggesting the horse performs well at this track.
Sinnatra could really sing at Sandown, with Dan Skelton throwing another one into the mix. The six-year-old was last seen finishing runner-up in a decent-sized field at Newbury, with that second place coming in a field of fifteen. A few weeks previously, the horse was also knocking on the door and the runner was previously a strong contender for Paul Nicholls.
