Verdict
LADY DANCELOT never threatened the winner when placed in a Class 2 sprint at York last time but finished behind a subsequent winner when third at Windsor before that. David Elsworth’s filly may prove good enough back in this grade. With Caution has a shout returning to today’s distance but Dr Doro has proved best over the minimum trip so far. Lethal Angel will be winning soon though recent placed efforts came at a lower level while both Always A Drama and Chitra made losing bids for hat-tricks last time and now have a bit to prove off their current marks.
