Strategical should improve for his debut second at Haydock while Bush Beauty also only found one too good on her introduction here in May. But the one to beat has to be MYSTIQUE RIDER, who was third to subsequent Group 2 winner Sayyerr in May and only beaten half-a-length in what looked a strong maiden at Goodwood nine days ago. He should find this a bit easier. Blurred Vision and Captain Midnight have shown some ability but newcomers Alisios and Stormardal may need the experience.
