GET in the groove with DANCING TIGER (4.45, nap) at Sandown Park on Wednesday afternoon.
The son of Starspangledbanner is a confident selection in the Sri Lanka Paradise island Handicap.
After showing signs of promise earlier in the season, the three-year-old trained by Roger Teal finally lost his maiden tag at the seventh attempt when winning a1 0-runner handicap at Goodwood 15 days ago.
With only a 4lb penalty handed down for that success, he should follow up.
The big race of the day is found at Yarmouth and LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (4.00) is taken to land the Listed EBF Stallions John Musker Fillies’ Stakes.
Three-year-olds have an excellent record in this event so the daughter of Night Of Thunder can provide a seventh win in it for trainer John Gosden.

She created a good impression when winning a one-mile Kempton maiden last November.
And though victory has eluded in four starts this season, the form has been impressive, particularly last time out when second in a Group Three at Deauville.
At Beverley, the best bet could well be DUNKELD DREAMER (3.48, trb) in the Topmark Solutions National EV Bay-Marking Specialist Nursery.
The two-year-old is one of the countless juvenile winners that Karl Burke has recorded this season.
He has scored both at this track and also at Thirsk last time out, beating the re-opposing Mr Moonshine by a neck.
That form can be repeated here.
Back at Sandown, keep an eye out for MAEVA (4.10, nb) in the Sporting Times Sri Lanka Fillies’ Handicap.
The Charlie Fellowes trainee got off the mark when taking an eight-runner handicap at Chelmsford City 41 days ago.
She has been raised 13lb since but warrants respect nonetheless.
