Sussex Girl finished with a flourish in a Brighton seller last time and this isn’t much better. Oisin Murphy rides top weight Taurean Dancer, who isn’t badly treated on past form, but stamina could be an issue for Khaan. WAR OF SUCCESSION blew the start at Sandown earlier this month and had a rough passage in the race. That run is easily dismissed with Tony Newcombe’s charge going close over this track and trip earlier. Prerogative is capable at this level but now 0-22 on Turf.
