In depth
Verdict
CUBAN DANCER is related to several winners including the useful Earl Of Leitrim, a Listed winner as a two-year-old, and may prove good enough. Mark Johnston’s colt has a more favourable draw than Roydmoor, a half-brother to the yard’s decent sprinter Red Balloons. Nortonthorpe Boy is related to the prolific winners Gentleman and Bernie’s Boy and is another to note for any significant support while Follow Suit can include winning sprinters among his relatives and is worth a second glance along with Vamoos.
