WEDDING DANCE (NAP) was set a difficult task in Listed company at Newmarket on her reappearance and finished behind higher rated rivals than these. The Godolphin filly should figure in the finish on today’s more favourable terms. Rising Star will also find this easier after struggling at Ascot while there is little between the remaining trio at the weights though Tomouh and Lovely Breeze step back in trip and Caspian Queen is preferred.
