TITLE comes out best at the weights in this Listed contest. Roger Varian’s colt will find this easier than when third to Alenquer in a Group 2 at Ascot last month and first-time blinkers may help bring further progress. Mark Johnston sent out last year’s winner and the unbeaten novice Kings Prince is preferred to Aleas with the latter disappointing in Listed company at Goodwood. Glenartney was outclassed in the Musidora at York and steps up in distance while both The Flying Ginger and Kraken Filly have little chance on these terms.
