In depth
Verdict
A race that is unlikely to live long in the memory. Elusive Heights may do better back on Turf but that can’t be guaranteed. New Look is 0-36 since arriving in the UK but Lightning Attack has won a couple of times and was second last time at Bath. Dancing Jo is 0-15 on Turf and was behind DON’T JOKE when Ruth Carr’s charge finished a distance second over track and trip two runs ago. The latter has never won but is more likely than most to run his race.
