In depth
Verdict
DANCE ME was only caught close home over course and distance last Saturday. She can take advantage of the weight concession from West Palm Beach, who is penalised for winning at Lingfield recently but is still preferred to stablemate and debutante Love Is Enough. The latter is one of several newcomers representing powerful yards including the Godolphin filly Calypso Blue and Roger Varian’s Monteja, a half-sister to Group 1-winning stable companion Nezwaah. Morning Beauty and Marie Toulouse are also worth a second glance.
