With Thursday’s banker picking up the silver medal, all eyes now turn to the final day of the Dante Festival at York.

After shaping well on his return at the Spring Meeting at Epsom last month, David Menuisier’s Blue Cup is the selection in the north on Friday.

He is still relatively lightly raced given his age, with only 11 career starts to date, and could be the type to progress into a horse far better than his current rating of 93.
