Verdict

Dancinginthewoods was a 50/1 winner on debut at Newmarket but out of his comfort zone when down the field in the Woodcote at Epsom. He won’t find this easy against less-exposed types, though only has a small penalty. Thunderous has an early Derby entry and cost 70,000gns while Always Fearless is a half-brother to three winners and was a 270,000gns yearling. The Godolphin runner IMPERIAL EMPIRE is by Dubawi out of a Listed winner who scored on the track as a juvenile. She has produced winners with both of her offspring to race so far.
