Group 2 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes Runner By Runner Betting Guide – 1m2½f 9 The Lion In Winter (4) Age: 3 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 11- Rating: – Jockey: Ryan Moore Trainer: Aidan O’Brien Odds: 1/1 The unbeaten son of Sea The Stars and current Derby ante-post favourite The Lion In Winter makes his anticipated return to the track, but he may be vulnerable today. The Lion In Winter was pencilled in to make his return in the 2000 Guineas, but a setback meant that team Ballydoyle had to shelve his Newmarket plan and switch to the Dante, which was also touch and go for a while. The Lion In Winter has winning course form, but it is not often that Aidan O’Brien sends one of his more fancied Derby horses to the Dante, and going on what Aidan O’Brien has stated in the past few days, there will be plenty left to work with for The Lion In Winter. This race is not his main target, and he will not be given a hard time if he is not in with a winning chance, so at his price and given his interrupted prep, it may be worth taking him on today. Star rating: Bet on The Lion In Winter with Betfred 1 Alpine Trail (9) Age: 3 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 111 Rating: 104 Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby Odds: 11/2 This progressive front-runner is unbeaten in his three runs to date, which includes a win at this track over 1m2f in April. That win was followed by a Listed win at Newmarket last month in good style. He has peak race fitness on his side, and his rating of 104 may underestimate his ability. Given that he may get away on the front end, he could be nailed on for a place finish here. Star rating: Bet on Alpine Trail with SBK 11 Wimbledon Hawkeye (7) Age: 3 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 213-25 Rating: 112 Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: James Owen Odds: 7/1 Progressive as a two-year-old, which saw Wimbledon Hawkeye win a Group 2 at Newmarket after finishing just over one length off The Lion In Winter over this course, and finished off his two-year-old campaign with a third in the Group 1 Futurity Trophy Stakes at Doncaster, there was a lot to look forward to this season. His three-year-old season started well with a second to the now 2000 Guineas second Field Of Gold, but he failed to build on that when a well-beaten sixth in the 2000 Guineas, but did he look to get outpaced a long way from home. Now that he is finally getting to step up in trip, we may be about to witness a career-best from Wimbledon Hawkeye. This talented son of Kameko has a big chance at the prices. Star rating: Bet on Wimbledon Haekeye with talkSPORT BET 10 Tuscan Hills (3) Age: 3 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 11- Rating: 103 Jockey: David Egan Trainer: Raphael E Freire Odds: 14/1 Tuscan Hills is two from two as a two-year-old, with the second of those wins coming at Listed level at Pontefract on soft ground. He is untried at anything faster than good, but going on how he won easily on good ground on debut and his action, he should not have any problem with the forecast good to firm conditions. It’s hard to know how far he can go this season, but today will tell a lot about what lies ahead for Tuscan Hills. A watching brief is advised unless he becomes strong in the betting. Star rating: Bet on Tuscan Hills with bet365 6 Pride Of Arras (2) Age: 3 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 1- Rating: – Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Ralph Beckett Odds: 14/1 Pride Of Arras won on his racecourse debut and is an unknown quantity but will need to hit the ground running on only his second career start. His debut win is well below what will be required here, and he needs to be well above average to play a leading role today. Star rating: Bet on Pride Of Arras with Paddy Power 7 Royal Playwright (8) Age: 3 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 1328-3 Rating: 108 Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Andrew Balding Odds: 16/1 Given that some of his rivals have to get to the kind of form that Royal Playwright reached as a two-year-old, the Andrew Balding-trained colt looks overpriced here. His two-year-old form behind Wimbledon Hawkeye and Field Of Gold reads well coming into the Dante. He had a pipe opener at Newcastle last month where he could have won with a bit more luck. Now, with that run under his belt, combined with the step-up in trip, he looks like a big each-way player at his current price. Star rating: Bet on Royal Playwright with Betfred 2 Damysus (5) Age: 3 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 1-3 Rating: 104 Jockey
