A Boy Named Suzi has been knocking on the door but gets little respite from the handicapper. Lexington Bay and Sohar both had alternative engagements yesterday while Caravan Rolls On may need this after a lengthy absence and Benefit Of Porter and Sula Two usually do their winning at a lower level. Fulgur is the only previous course winner and should strip fitter for his recent reappearance but the three-year-olds could easily dominate here with HANDSOME MAN just preferred to Repeater and Moon Trip at the weights. The Godolphin colt was just touched off in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot two runs ago and didn't appear to handle Goodwood last time whereas the other pair need to improve again on what they've shown this season to land this.
