Miss Lucinda V Russell
Unplaced in all nine starts. Well beaten at 100-1 behind Dr Flynn when 14th of 15 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Kelso over 2m 2f (good to soft) earlier this month.
GROOVY DANCER is fancied to strike on her handicap debut under Henry Brooke, one of the more accomplished jockeys in this race. Rose Dobbin's mare produced her best effort yet when third in what looked an above-average maiden hurdle at Kelso last time and an opening mark of 103 looks fair. Endeavor has enjoyed a successful year already, winning three times, and warrants respect under 7lb claimer Ryan Clark, while Carlisle scorer Toledo Gold is another to consider.
