      Verdict

      DANCE KING is back on a winning mark now and has gone close on a couple of occasions this year, including when beaten less than a length over today’s trip at York last week. It could his turn again today and Tim Easterby’s charge can confirm latest running with Rainbow Rebel. Speed Company will appreciate the drop back down in class and is not out of this off his current mark but both Cape Of Glory and Vettori Rules are harder to fancy dropping down in distance.
