        went right start in touch, effort over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong

        In depth

        Verdict

        Blistering Dancer was winning for only the second time in 36 attempts when successful at Thirsk last time and Tasaaboq needed 27 starts to finally get his head in front when scoring over 6f here last month with Fossa behind. Several of these went close on their latest starts including Jack The Laird, Red Flute and JOHN JOINER but the latter is preferred on his second over today’s trip at Bath as this looks a slightly easier task.
