In depth
Verdict
Briscola went close over 7f at Kempton before disappointing over a longer trip here last time and Cirrus Minor was runner-up at Newcastle on her debut but returned a well-beaten favourite at Wolverhampton last month. DANCE ME is getting closer with every start and was beaten less than a length at Wolverhampton recently. She should make a bold bid on that evidence and is preferred to the newcomers. The latter group are headed by Godolphin’s Crown Walk, who is related to a Group 1 winner, and makes more appeal than Flora Tristan and Heavens Align.
