Verdict
Data Protection went close at Newbury on his first start since wind surgery and now gets a first-time tongue-tie. Banksy's Art and Flere Imsaho were both placed over 1m2f on their respective penultimate starts while The Night King won over 1m1f at Lingfield back in May. Lady Safeara remains unexposed but so does SUKHOVEY, who looks worth another try over a mile after finishing runner-up over 7f at Brighton last time and the latter gets the nod.
