Tony Carroll has his team in terrific form, and Danse Macabre is strrongly facnied to give him another winner in the 4.20 at sedgefield today.
The 11-year-old has not won for a long time, but his handicap mark has plummetted as a result and he shaped as if his turn was near when finishing seventh of 13 to Canni Thinkaar at Hereford last time out.
He ran far better than his finishing position suggests, travelling strongly until his stamina gave way two from home and being heavily eased when all chance had gone.
The handicapper has dropped him a further 5lb today, and he now runs over a far more suitable trip.
The promising Lee Edwards takes a further 7lb off his back, and given the fact that he was once rated 102 over hurdles he could be potentially thrown in off a mark of just 85 in a shocking race.
Recommended bet: 4pts win Danse Macabre (4-1 generally available)
