Friday's Tips

Dance The Dream is fully expected to take top honours in the Dubai Duty Free Handicap at Newbury.

Marcus Tregoning's filly has been off the track since May, but that should not be too much of an inconvenience in this valuable mile-and-a-half encounter.

After all, the daughter of Sir Percy, whom her trainer knows rather well, already has some nice form in the book and looked especially good on her sole start of the season at Goodwood.

Dance The Dream is a powerful, rangy sort and did not appear in love with the capricious West Sussex circuit as it took her a while to get going.

Once she did find her rhythm, jockey Martin Dwyer must have been quite impressed as she stayed on for third place behind Ajman Princess, who has since won a Group One race.

Tregoning's inmate had looked progressive during a three-year-old campaign which saw her win at Leicester and Chepstow and should be much happier running at Newbury than at Goodwood.

And with the drying ground also a sizeable boon, she could prove a great deal better than an elevated mark of 98 might suggest.

The Listed Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships Cup Stakes looks challenging, to say the least, but it is interesting Sir Michael Stoute saddles recent Lingfield scorer Dream Of Dreams.

This one absolutely dotted up in a seven-furlong conditions stakes last Saturday, having previously made a rather subdued start under Stoute's tutelage.

The former Kevin Ryan inmate is clearly in a happy place this autumn and now has that crucial momentum behind him.

It is also good to see Ryan Moore involved for the first time.

Bon Scotte is the pick in the Haynes, Hanson & Clark Conditions Stakes.

He made a fine debut when beating Kitaabaat at Goodwood last month, showing an admirable battling attitude to fend off a more experienced rival in the finish.

The runner-up gave the form a boost when winning at Sandown in midweek and Bon Scotte could be a smart type.
