Dacing To Old Borough Cup Victory

A full field for the Old Borough Cup Handicap which is what we like to see. The weather has broken following a hot summer. A welcome ease in the ground for the autumn horses.

Ian Williams knows what it takes to win the Old Borough Cup and runs two. Of his pair, I prefer Dancing In Paris ridden by Saffie Osborne. He finished third last year albeit well held by the front two on the day. Dancing in Paris deserves to get his head in front following a couple of near misses this season.

Dancing In Paris was beaten a neck in the Northumberland Plate and half a length at the Goodwood Festival. The stronger the pace the better for this proven tough stayer who carries nine stone and a pound.
