White Wolf’s best effort in a handicap so far came on soft ground at Meydan while Groundbreaker still looks high enough in the weights. But MISTY DANCER (NAP) looks to have more to offer off her current mark having finished runner-up at Newmarket last month and she gets the vote to go one better. Diderot was in good form on the Polytrack before finishing behind Moktasaab at York and the latter is unexposed on the all-weather but Sun King still has something to prove over this far and cheekpieces are applied.
