The progressive LONDON PRIZE returned to winning ways over 2m at Goodwood recently with an impressive eight-length success. He can shrug off a penalty on that evidence and was runner-up over track and trip earlier. Kensington Star found one too good at Musselburgh attempting today’s trip for the first time but remains unexposed while Graceland has a shout on her earlier second over 2m at York. A winner over 1m4f at the track, I Am Not Here will likely stay the trip and the same applies to High Command, despite disappointing at Salisbury last time. The marathon 2m5f of the Queen Alexandra proved beyond October Storm at Ascot last week but he was in fine form before that.
