Top stables look to enhance paddocks values with nicely-bred sorts and NIGHT AND DANCE can overcome an absence since the spring. The daughter of Danehill Dancer appealed as a filly of some promise on her Newmarket debut, should be well suited by the extra two furlongs and her yard is adept at returning inmates from absences. Kahraba, backed into favouritism on her Newbury debut when a fair third, can only improve and the American-bred filly looks a live contender for Godolphin. Floral Beauty has been turned over twice now at long odds-on and has something to prove, as does Shuhra, progressing nicely enough until blowing out at Kempton last time. Interestingly, the blinkers on the latter are dispensed with here.
