Bell Rock is now 6lb lower than his last winning mark and his rider takes off another 3lb. Vulcan is interesting back on Turf but it’s about time JUST FINE was getting his head back in front. Well backed again last time at Goodwood in the race won by Forest Falcon, The Queen’s gelding probably saw too much daylight but still finished ahead of a few of these including favourite Legend Of Dubai. Isla Kai tries a new trip but has been running better than form figures would suggest and Mujtaba will be very much at home if the forecast rains arrive.
