Every drop of rain that falls strengthens the claims of CORELLI. He hasn’t raced since third in the Lingfield Derby Trial in May but the second in that race, Kew Gardens, has won at the highest level recently and John Gosden’s colt may outclass his rivals. Given her win ratio, Bayshore Freeway was surprisingly easy to back at Chelmsford and will appreciate the switch back to Turf. Sergio Leone never looked like catching Desert Path at Goodwood eight days ago but that was still another solid effort. Gossip Column continued his upward curve with an all-the-way victory at Chester and Ian Williams also runs Blue Laureate. Bajan Gold improved again tackling 1m4f for the first time here two weeks ago and a big run from Koeman earlier on the card would boost his prospects. The latter’s stable companion Jazeel won over 1m2f at Sandown last month but stamina may be tested over this trip.
