We said5th of 8, beaten 3¼ at 17/2
DANCING IN PARIS 14/1
DANCING IN PARIS at 14/1, Ian Williams and David Probert, is the one I would be with. He has already run to within touching distance off this sort of figure, beaten 0.5L off 92 on 2 August 2025 and won last time out.
ARQOOB rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won its last two off 86 and runs off 91 — up 5lb.
The dangers are VALEDICTORY at 10/3 (staying on last time) and FANTASY WORLD at 16/1 (from a yard in form).
