Goodwood Atlantis had the disappointing Attenborough behind when a staying-on third over 1m1f at Goodwood and should strip fitter now but Dreams Of Fire pulled much too hard in the Cheshire Oaks and paid the price. She'll need to settle better here while Scrupul is only improving slowly, if at all. Oojooba could be worth another chance over this longer trip, however, and Traveller's Tales is pretty consistent if slightly flattered by her form figures. FORTIETH AND FIFTH didn't enjoy much luck in-running when favourite at Ripon at the end of May. That form looks better now than it did at the time and Michael Bell's gelding can make amends here ahead of upped-in-class hat-trick-seeker Sabhan.
