AD VALUE looks the sort to make a good four-year-old and confirmed that view when landing a Musselburgh handicap on his reappearance, always doing enough to repel all raiders. However, he disappointed greatly over the same C&D last time when beaten nearly 30 lengths (started favourite). There seemed no logical excuse for that reversal but he's worth another chance to confirm the previous good impression. Hi Dancer is a reliable dual-purpose performer who should be on the premises once more, whilst Ministerofinterior, a comfortable Bath winner latest, is sure to stay the trip on the prevailing conditions.
