chased leaders wide on track until weakened inside final furlong
tracked leaders, effort 3f out, soon weakened

made all, ridden inside 2f out, responded to pressure and kept on well inside final furlong
Bahamian Pirate (USA) Top sprinter who was not disgraced at Royal Ascot behind Harmonic Way; Kieren Fallon a good jockey booking but may find one too good off this weight.
Cretan Gift Great performer over the years who has been a credit to his connections; has not won for over a year but shaped as though returning to form at Yarmouth last time and could easily spring a surprise.
Doctor Spin (IRE) Ran a great race at Royal Ascot behind Nice One Clare and with trainer now hitting fine form should run a big race.
Ellens Academy (IRE) Winner at Doncaster before excellent second at Royal Ascot (Doctor Spin behind); should be a leading contender if reproducing that effort.
Ho Leng (IRE) Smart handicap sprinter but has not won since 1999; bit to find in Group company.
Jarn Winner at Yarmouth last time and chances if improving on that effort; a leading contender but not certain to hold form with Cretan Gift.
Yorkies Boy Winner at York in May but has disappointed on both starts since; weakened tamely at Haydock last time and cannot be backed with too much faith.
Bannister Winner of a Group 2 as a two-year-old and has been set stiff tasks since; failed to stay a mile last time and returned to optimum trip today; runs against older horses but not without a chance.
Bouncing Bowdler Excellent form as a two-year-old but after being well beaten at Ascot on reappearance remains best watched.
Emerald Peace (IRE) Smart performer who was not disgraced in Group 2 in France last time; steps up to six furlongs today which should suit and one for the short-list.
Pan Jammer Ran well in Group 3 Jersey Stakes last time and dropped back to six furlongs today; difficult to know best trip and may find one or two too good today.
Volata (IRE) Loved drop back in trip last time to score at Haydock after running in Guineas; looks smart sprinting prospect and very much a leading contender.
