It is time for Sir Dancealot to waltz home at Leicester
– Sir Dancealot can rediscover the knack of winning races when he lines up on a strong card at Leicester today.
The three-year-old colt is a lovely horse but things have not quite gone his way this year. Indeed, Sir Dancealot has not tasted victory since he claimed the Rockingham at York as a juvenile at this time last year.

Ralph Beckett's Bated Breath youngster stepped up markedly on his debut effort at Chepstow when second last time out to Bathsheba Bay. With Moore an unusual booking for the yard, the hint should be taken –
