Most of these can be given a chance of sorts. Hold Tight made a winning start at Leicester and another Godolphin runner, Time Flies, landed the odds in a maiden at Chelmsford. The consistent Grey Mirage won an All-Weather Championship race here in April and is preferred to stablemate Crazy Chic, who is upped in class along with Big Whiskey. The Rectifier, Lexington Times and Santefisio are all at home in this grade but a speculative vote goes to FIELD OF DREAM, having only his third start on the all-weather having slipped down the weights since winning last year's Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot.
