Mark Johnston has a good record in this and runs four with James McDonald’s ride and recent Newmarket winner Ode To Evening preferred to Montsarrat of the quartet. Ryan Moore will not want to get too far behind on Sandown winner Stargazer from a wide draw but BANKSEA should be able to take up a good early position. Luca Cumani’s colt has something to find with Ode To Evening and third-placed Dwight D on latest running at HQ but re-opposes on better terms and still has plenty of scope. Connections will be hoping rain arrives for Windsor winner Goodwood Zodiac while Scarlet Dragon is upped in class under a penalty as he bids for a hat-trick. High Shields came up short on his handicap debut at Ascot but drops back in trip for this and is preferred to the other maiden winners Sabre Squadron and You're Hired.
