Step down in trip likely to suit Drayton

THE exciting Drayton has to be the fancy to land the Listed Danehill Dancer Stakes at Tipperary this evening.

Tommy Stack's colt has his sights considerably lowered, after contesting the Group One Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh last time, and can lead his rivals a merry dance.

The son of Danetime finished a creditable fifth then, beaten about two and a half lengths, behind the impressive Holy Roman Emperor. Previously, also at the Curragh, he ran Holy Roman Emperor to three parts of a length in a Group Two. Both of those races were over six furlongs and Drayton, who possesses blinding speed, will be well suited to dropping down to five.
