Going - Yielding, Good in places. Dry
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Tom Weekes - EARTH DANCE ran really well on debut last month and comfortably holds today's rivals Tommy Thug and Dubawi Delight. A half-brother to three winners, he was beaten by a 98-rated runner-up on Curragh debut, with the experienced fourth-placed filly subsequently winning a maiden. Tommy Thug and Dubawi Delight finished sixth and seventh respectively at the Curragh while exposed Right Now is consistent and has place claims. Only For Me is held by Right Now on Curragh form while Open To Question needs to improve. Guinevere's Spirit has a notable pedigree being out of an unraced half-sister to Derby winner Authorized and who has already produced five winners, two being smart. An Bradan Feasa is bred for staying distances and is out of an unraced half-sister to high-class hurdler Kalashnikov.
