This is no easy task for the Doncaster winner MODERN DANCER under a penalty but there should be plenty more to come from the Kingman colt. Seeking Gold ran well on debut at Newbury but Conquistador was easy to back at Newmarket and may need more time. Of the newcomers, Urban Terms is sprint bred but Lion Kingdom is a half-brother to winners in the States and Japan.
