[NoChanceToDance]

LUCARNO, who heads to York for the Great Voltigeur Stakes on Tuesday, looked in great nick under Jimmy Fortune as he did some preparatory work on the Limekilns round gallop on Wednesday morning.

The overnight and early morning rain helped produce near perfect ground and the Dynaformer colt came through nicely from off the pace to join up with his two companions.

Pipedreamer had shown he was back to his best when winning at Goodwood and he looked in good order on the trial ground in company with Transcend.

Stronghold gets better with every gallop and he looked the part under Rab Havlin when working well with Imperial Star. Costume heads off to America next month but she looked in great shape in company with Asperity.

Legislation could be in action in the Acomb Stakes next week and he looked in good form in his spin when working alongside the likeable Legal Eagle (David Kinsella).

Sir Michael Stoute was another with some of his York possibles on the round gallop and Distinction (Maxine Cowdrey) caught the eye when moving strongly at the finish of his gallop with Arabian Gulf and Great Hawk.

Winter Sunshine continues to thrive and she moved well in her spin with Dance Of Light.

Gold Hush didn't quite come up to expectations at Goodwood last time but there will be other days for her and she sparkled in her spin with Allegretto.

On the trial ground, Cabinet gave the impression he is another going the right way when leading up from Sugar Ray and Lang Shining.

Luca Cumani was in action on the watered gallop on Racecourse Side where Speed Gifted (Jamie Spencer) caught the eye in his group and Ebor favourite Purple Moon was another to show his wellbeing in his workout.

Michael Bell is looking to Red Evie to get her season back on track in the Hungerford Stakes at Newbury on Saturday and she prepared for that Group 2 contest, in which she carries a 4lb penalty, in company with Eddie Jock. Regime was another from Fitzroy House to show up well with Metaphoric in his gallop.

Henry Cecil was on the peat moss with Passage Of Time (Ted Durcan) and, although York comes too soon, she showed that she is heading in the right direction when going clear of her companion.

Multidimensional is another on the comeback trail and he looked in good form when moving well for Victor Deering in his spin with one other.

Over on the Al Bahathri Polytrack, it was time for Cecil's Ebor hope Tranquil Tiger (Tom Queally) to perform and he looked in great shape as he went through the gears in company with Brisk Breeze (Jimmy Quinn).

One To Note
Distinction (Sir Michael Stoute)
Living up to his name in hiswork and his next engagement is eagerly awaited
