Parfait disappointed at Kempton following a promising debut and there are questions to answer regarding the going. But Dance Teacher was just beaten on soft ground here on debut before finding Class 2 company too hot at York so goes on the short-list. Make Time was only beaten a short-head at Ascot and should be thereabouts if handling conditions but Limelite has regressed since her third at Goodwood and Open Wide has more scope. Henry Candy runs two with debutante Morello a better long-term prospect than Medicean Ballet but other newcomers are preferred on this occasion. Swiftsure is a half-brother to a Grade 2 winner in the States and Ajman King was a €130,000 yearling who is also related to winners. ANYTHINGTODAY might have been a snip at €80,000 as he's by Zoffany out of a Montjeu mare. With his stable still flying, he's worth a market check.
