Verdict
ERRONEOUS, who is related to several winners, made a very encouraging start behind the race-fit Il Paparazzi at York and should have come on enough to go one better. Mime Dance has come up against some decent rivals and ran his best race to date at Goodwood last time where he led for most of the way over that 7f trip. This should suit and he'll be difficult to catch. Needless Shouting has been getting closer with every run and was only caught at this trip over 7f at Sandown last time so today's track should suit him well. Nova Princesse showed good pace over a mile on her Lingfield debut and is another worthy of consideration.
