Verdict
Turn On The Style might just find his blistering pace fading here in the closing stages and so with plenty of pace here we will take Ceremonial Jade to score now dropped in trip. This is likely to be run at a break-neck gallop and that will suit Ceremonial Jade who is yet to win at shorter than seven furlongs. He has won at the track previously and still on a feasible mark, he should run well. Binanti tends to travel well but is paying the price for some great runs earlier in the year, whilst Maltese Falcon is only averagely drawn for a front-runner and he looks high enough in the weights at present. Turn On The Style has claims but may just prefer the minimum trip, so of more interest may be King's Caprice who comes here on the back of a good second behind the progressive Tamagain and he looks a threat. At a price Little Edward could go well as he loves an artificial surface, however it is Ceremonial Jade who can crown his season with a win.
