Verdict
CAPE BYRON (NAP) won the Victoria Cup and Wokingham here in early summer and his two subsequent starts have been at Group 1 and 2 level, running really well behind Shine So Bright in the Sky Bet City Of York Stakes. He's given the nod over Tabdeed, the winner of four out of five with his only defeat coming in the Jersey Stakes here. Donjuan Triumphant ended the last campaign with a Listed victory on soft ground at Doncaster, though he hasn't done quite as well this season, but Raucous is well held by the selection on their run in the Wokingham. Keystroke gained a shock victory in the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket in April and is again capable of a big run at a fair price.
