Rivals likely to dance to Sir’s tune once more

Four-year-old can follow up career-best performance

SIR DANCEALOT showed a neat turn of foot when scoring at Glorious Goodwood and can follow up in the Ladyswood Stud Hungerford Stakes at Newbury today.

David Elsworth’s four-year-old put up a career-best performance when getting up in the last stride to lift the Lennox Stakes after looking set for minor honours at best.

He can now register a second Group Two success in under three weeks despite having to carry a 3lb penalty.

Raymond Tusk can continue his improvement by winning the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Geoffrey Freer Stakes.

It came as a surprise to many when the colt, owned by Middleham Park Racing, was supplemented for the Coral-Eclipse last month on the back of just two career starts in ordinary company.

The three-year-old, trained by Richard Hannon, did not run at all badly in filling sixth place behind Roaring Lion and reaped the benefit of that tall order with a cosy success in the Listed Glasgow Stakes at Hamilton just two weeks later.

Middleham Park and Hannon can also strike with the unbeaten

BOITRON in the Denford Stakes.

The son of Le Havre has created good impression with wins on this course and at Doncaster.

He can take this Listed prize before going on to better things.

TRONGATE can score for Iain Jardine in the SPM Scotland Novices’ Handicap Chase.
