Verdict
Ninjago finished runner-up in last year's renewal and is weighted to reverse more recent running here with last year's fourth Ruwaiyan. Charles Hills has a strong hand with Newmarket winner Magical Memory a leading contender and preferred to stablemates Greeb and Boomerang Bob. The latter finished behind another with decent claims in Huntsmans Close at Windsor last time. Poyle Vinnie won in this grade at Hamilton recently beating Tatlisu but Discussiontofollow needs a bit more off his current mark. Toofi could go well with a respectable fourth at Haydock under his belt and Lancelot Du Lac ran well for third in the Wokingham in June with Related and several others of these behind. TROPICS could only manage sixth in this in 2013 but has improved subsequently winning four times in pattern company. Beaten only a nose by Muhaarar in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket last month, Dean Ivory's charge could make a bold bid from the top of the weights.
