Verdict
Roly Boy appeals most here with Uramazin and Silent Hero also considered. Lahaleeb won impressively last time and Thunderball has also shown ability but both were due to contest a nursery at Newcastle on Wednesday; both would merit consideration if turning up here. The selection is more exposed than most in this line-up but caught the eye finishing strongly from off the pace until meeting interference in a competitive contest at Glorious Goodwood. That form gives him every chance here and he looks certain to have a say in the outcome. Uramazin was disappointing on rain softened ground at Newcastle but it was a fair race and he had previously beaten a useful sort in Mrs Kipling. He has a bit to prove if the rain arrives but is one for the short-list if conditions stay on the fast side. Neither Wilbury Star nor Kings Troop appeal as being well handicapped but there could be more to come from Imperial Guest if he can put his Royal Ascot disappointment behind him. Silent Hero has less obvious claims but he appeared to take a step in the right direction on heavy ground at Haydock last time and may find his niche in this company. Once more the market will be useful but Roly Boy has solid claims and gets the vote.
