It was fast going when Natural Path won on the Turf course at Lingfield and he’s 6lb higher while Yimou finished runner-up again when going close at Windsor. ONE NIGHT STAND could only manage fourth at Ascot but that was in a tougher sprint than this and William Jarvis’ charge is taken to reverse earlier running at Newmarket with Dancinginthewoods on today’s better terms. The latter has subsequently finished ahead of Spirited Guest while Liberated Lady missed an engagement here yesterday so Benefit Street is preferred.
