b h Groom Dancer (USA) - Salul (Soviet Star)
In rear of mid-division, progress into 6th before 4 out, 3rd from next, ridden to challenge and dispute lead last, soon led, stayed on well run-in, all out (trainer said, regarding the improved form, horse was running in its first handicap chase today and was suited by the low weight and good ground, adding that it often ran well on good ground and in his opinion is best as a summer horse; he futher added that heavy weights carried on testing ground did not suit as he is only 15.1 hands high)
