Verdict

Dancing Gemini struggled upped to Listed class at Ascot having earlier finished second at Salisbury. Navy Jack improved to finish runner-up at Sandown but HIGHLAND SPRING wasn’t far behind in fourth. The latter should come have come on for that experience and is entered in a couple of Group 2 races next month. Fox Legacy can include a Group 2 winner among several winning relatives while Trefor, Farizio and Olympic Candle are other newcomers to note.
