  Ran much better than the bare form at Chepstow, when pulled wide and raced furthest away from the stands rail which has been heavily favoured in recent times. Now looks very well handicapped against old form.

  The best trends match is St Moritz. Something blazing a trail down one of the flanks has often produced the winner and St Moritz looks well drawn and he holds an excellent chance. Frankie is a fine judge of pace and takes the ride.

   Music Show is the possible improver and a much better price. She has had no luck whatever since winning the Nell Gwyn - drawn the wrong side at both Newmarket and the Curragh, and again at Ascot where she ended up much too far back coming into the straight after racing 4 wide from a wide draw.

  The pace is hot and the groud is fast. An ability to lay up and take a tow into the race has often proved decisive. Of the obvious trends qualifiers Ransom Note & Hynotized fit the bill. Neither will mind the ground and both are distance winners. Both are also good candidates on weight adjusted ratings but Ransom Note potentially has the better draw.

   The prime suspect is Byword who was a fast closing 1/2 length 2nd to Goldikova latest in the Prix D’Ispahan G1 when Goldikova, in receipt of 3lbs, broke the Longchamp 9fl course record. Byword looks tailor-made for the step up to 10fl and races handily, ideal around here.

   7fl specialist highly effective on testing ground up to Cl3. Goes well fresh & 2lbs below last winning mark. 2nd in 2008 off 1lb higher. Nicely drawn for one who likes to lead and looks underrated
