Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Dancing In Paris holds a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, and over this stamina-sapping sixteen furlongs at Ascot on good-to-firm ground, a horse still on an upward curve can hold a meaningful edge over rivals who may already be operating near their ceiling. Beylerbeyi and Spirit Mixer head the field on bare ratings and must be respected, while Kilmeaden is only a couple of pounds off the pace and should not be underestimated either. On balance, the progressive case for Dancing In Paris is compelling enough to side with, though this is a competitive heat and the margin for error is slim. **Dancing In Paris** is our selection.
