      In depth

      Verdict

      Shut Up And Dance disappointed over a shorter trip at Lingfield having won over today’s distance at Wolverhampton before that. It remains to be seen how TIMESTAMP copes with a penalty but he scored by over five lengths over course and distance on his handicap debut and George Scott’s charge has plenty of scope for further progress. Copperplate has improved for the application of blinkers and is another upped in trip along with Just Percy.
