SIR DANCEALOT is fancied to

rack up the ‘double double’ in the

Group 2 Unibet Hungerford

Stakes (3.35) at Newbury today.

Twelve months ago, the David

Elsworth-trained five-year-old

received a typically polished ride from

French master Gérald Mossé to land

this race from Dream Of Dreams.

The son of Sir Prancealot’s length-

and-a-quarter supremacy came on

the back of a last-gasp victory in the

Lennox Stakes, also a Group 2 test, at

the Qatar Goodwood Festival 18

days earlier.

And Sir Dancealot once

more makes the trip from

Newmarket boasting a

last-time-out Lennox

Stakes win, having proved

a length too strong for this

afternoon’s rival Hey

Gaman on the South Downs,

with the reopposing Flaming Spear

( fifth), Space Traveller (sixth) and

Donjuan Triumphant (eighth) further

back.

My selection, whose second

success at Goodwood for

Elsworth (left) was gained

in more comfortable

fashion than his first, has

to shoulder a 3lb penalty,

just as he did in 2018.

But seven-furlong

specialist Sir Dancealot is as

good as ever and is fancied to

prove up to the job.

Sir Dancealot won

the Lennox Stakes

at Goodwood last

time out over the

same trip

LORD IT AGAIN

Elsworth hungry for double glory
