Gallops Report: Latest from Andrew Balding's yard


Dancing Star could be in line for a return to Goodwood - get the latest from the gallops at Andrew Balding's stable.

CONTANGO stepped up to the table in some pleasing work ahead of a trip to Chester on Friday.

The impressive Leicester scorer steps straight into handicap company at a course where his trainer Andrew Balding has enjoyed notable success over the past few seasons.

He was not considered anywhere near fully wound-up for that introduction and the way he forged clear of his lead horse suggests he has gone forwards in the interim.

LADY PERIGNON was restricted to just three outings during the 2016 campaign but has trained well ahead of her own reappearance at Chester.

She was far from disgraced on her final start last year at Sandown and has plenty of scope for further improvement.

DARK SHOT is shaping up well for a race at Windsor on Sunday.

The Jeff Smith-owned sprinter looked comfortable in some speed work ahead of that meeting and deserves a change of luck.

DANCING STAR is another Smith-owned speedster who has taken her Royal Ascot exertions in her stride and could now bid for the King George V Stakes at Goodwood.
