Formscan  - DANCING GEMINI may be winless since a Listed success here in September 2023, but he kept top company last season, including runs in both the Derby and Eclipse. Proven when fresh, having finished runner-up in the French 2000 Guineas last May, Roger Teal's charge is narrowly preferred to Botanical, who scored first time out last season at York and went on to place in a strong renewal of the John Smith's Cup. A taking winner of the Cambridgeshire on his penultimate start, Liberty Lane should also go well.
