Yankee Stadium is fitted with a tongue-tie and blinkers still looking for a first success while Zhang Fei looks no nearer winning judged on recent efforts. Cuban Dancer’s earlier victory came on soft ground and Sandret drops down in trip looking to end a long losing run. ESCAPE never threatened at Brighton on his handicap debut but has more scope than most and gets a speculative vote in a weak contest.
