Mokaatil had Stone Of Destiny back in third when landing this sprint last year and won back here in April when beating Thegreatestshowman. Fine Wine and Live In The Dream are front-runners though the former’s recent victory at York looks the stronger form and he’s been raised 9lb while King Of Stars and Tees Spirit are others likely to be up with a blistering pace. But DUSKY LORD pleased connections when winning nicely at Newmarket as he was expected to need the outing on his seasonal reappearance. He should have come on for that and make another bold bid. Sunday Sovereign went close at York a fortnight ago and has a shout on that form.
