Dancing Destiny has enjoyed a spate of outings that has included a couple of victories and has to be respected on form.

Musical Times can hit the right notes in the Betfred May Hill Stakes on Thursday, with a couple of victories having been landed in a short career to date. Charlie Appleby saddles a horse who was able to score at Newmarket in the middle of June, with the even money shot able to oblige over seven furlongs in a novice stakes race.
Then came a facile success at Yarmouth when the runner was able to get over the line as the 1/5 favourite. The filly was always doing enough in that encounter although this is her sternest test to date. Perhaps Dancing Destiny could be a solid contender, with Joseph O’Brien’s horse having enjoyed a collecting of outings and most have been successful.
There have been two victories and the last pair of outings have seen the horse wind up as a runner-up. At Leopardstown in late July, the 20/1 shot performed really well in a competitive Group 3 race over seven furlongs, with another great effort in the Debutante Stakes at the Curragh when the 12/1 poke was just a neck away from getting up.
Ballyskeagh has a victory from three efforts to date, with this being another Joseph O’Brien-trained runner. Sea Of Rain could be each-way value and there have been two victories in the previous three outings. Exceptionally is an Aidan O’Brien charge who could also be in the mix, having improved with each race in a short career.
