Ghetto, Crystal Reign and Seyasa are the three to focus on here, with Ghetto set to continue the rich vein of form of Richard Hannon and Richard Hughes. There are a number of interesting newcomers from good yards so any market moves should be considered, but the experience of Ghetto can prove decisive. Ghetto kept on in pleasing style on his Newbury bow to take a close fourth in what looked a decent contest, and given the purple patch the trainer and jockey are having just now, it seems reasonable to expect improvement for that run, and he is the one we will side with. Crystal Reign ran well on his Windsor debut for Peter Chapple-Hyam but failed to justify favouritism, outpaced in the closing stages by a rival who had had a previous run. Hailing from the stable of the hugely impressive Winker Watson he is respected, but once again he may go off a short price and is opposed. Best of the newcomers could turn out to be Siyasa, a daughter of Rahy, out of a Nijinsky mare, representing Godolphin. Her trainer has only enjoyed the Royal Ascot success of Ramonti with his last fifteen runners, so Siyasa is taken on despite her impressive bloodline. Ghetto could well go off at a decent price, and is taken to benefit from the experience.
