Paul Kealy fancies a mudlark to improve back on the right surface

2.35 Ripon
1pt win at 15-2

It may be a case of the softer the ground the better for Iris Dancer, who ran her best race on the softest ground she encountered for Ralph Beckett last season when a half-length second off a mark of 60 at Windsor.

She also ran her best race for Mike Smith on soft at Catterick last year, when she found the 5f too sharp but was running on nicely until running out of room close home.
