Royal Lodge and Racing Post entry Dumbarton represents a yard that has landed this race twice in recent seasons and any market support for the Danehill Dancer colt would look significant with the yard's juveniles showing signs of getting into gear, including first time out. The market will be interesting, especially in relation to stablemates Mutayaser and THE MONGOOSE and the suggestion is the latter who has entries in the same Group races as Dumbarton and has the edge in experience following his midfield finish in a Goodwood maiden where he wasn't given an unduly hard time. Unex El Greco, Canaveral and No Larking are other newcomers to note whilst it would be no surprise to see Sleeping Wolf improve significantly from his debut at Salisbury in May.
