Sir Michael Stoute introduces a half-sister by Groom Dancer to Cherry Hinton winner Dazzle in the shape of Fantasize. She could be useful and will be worthy of inspection in the paddock. However, she will need to be because the opposition is decent. Al Ihtithar, trained by Barry Hills created a favourable impression on her debut at Newmarket when chasing home Hold To Ransom and, granted normal improvement, she will be tough to beat and gets the TEAMtalk vote. Of the opposition Aegean Line is becoming expensive to follow, Alexander Ridge is likely to need more time and a bigger danger is probably Tyranny from the John Dunlop stable. However, we think it will take a good one to beat the Barry Hills-trained horse.
