SAVETHELASTDANCE, one of a quartet of entries from Ballydoyle, may have found the ground too quick when runner-up to Soul Sister in the Oaks at Epsom and today's conditions can see the very impressive Cheshire Oaks winner back to winning ways. Warm Heart looks a real threat to her stable companion having been impressive when beating Lumiere Rock and Bluestocking in the Ribblesdale though she only had a head to spare over the latter at Newbury earlier and Ralph Beckett's filly didn't get the clearest of runs at Ascot.
