    Verdict

    BODYLINE was done no favours by the draw in last week’s King George V Stakes at Ascot but ran a cracker to finish sixth. He’ll probably stay further than 1m4f but deserves a change of luck. Bondi Sands also looked a stayer in the making when second at Goodwood and rates the main danger ahead of maiden Atlantic Crossing and Billhilly, who only scrambled home at Lingfield and is 7lb higher.
