A high-class event can go to the consistent Dance To The Top, who is expected to be hard to beat on these terms. The consistent Summitville and La Persiana are the obvious dangers if they run up to form. The last named was unlucky not to win an Italian Group Three earlier in the month and will appreciate this ease in grade. She is suited by a small field and looks sure to go well. As does Summitville, who is admirably consistent and still retains plenty of ability. However, she has not won since her two-year-old days and looks vulnerable to an unexposed type. Which is exactly what she is faced with in Dash To The Top. The Montjeu filly has always been highly regarded and, but for an interrupted preparation due to inclement weather, would have taken her chance in the Oaks. It has to be considered significant that Luca Cumani has decided to prepare her for the Irish equivalent instead. And it will have to go down as a very disappointing effort from Dance To The Top if she cannot take this Listed prize en route to The Curragh next month.
