The last two winners are back for more with 2014 winner OCEAN TEMPEST (NAP) preferred to Clockmaker. Unbeaten in three starts here, John Ryan's charge is 13lb lower today and will be sharper for last month's comeback run at Goodwood. Clockmaker won again here in June but is 6lb higher and found Sound Advice too good over track and trip last time as did the placed horses Marcret and Apostle. Gabrial's Kaka is back on a winning mark but could be better drawn and stablemate Third Time Lucky is preferred while Flash Fire is now 14lb higher than when scoring at Sandown last month but still went close at Newmarket a fortnight ago. Enlace is hard to catch right and is drawn high along with stable companion Ifwecan.
