Race Tip
EAST INDIA DOCK (8) looked well ahead of his mark easily winning at Goodwood earlier in the month. The James Fanshawe team are delivering winners of late and with Ryan Moore booked this progressive stayer can shrug off the 7lb penalty. SUBSEQUENT (6) may relish these ground conditions. Made it two from three among handicap company with a smooth win at Newmarket (July) last time and racing for trainer Andrew Balding could have plenty more to offer now stretching out further in journey. Recent York winner SHADOW DANCE (1) is another likely to relish this sizeable step up in trip. QUANTUM LEAP (7) might feature representing yard in good form.
