Rory And Me, a dual bumper winner, ran very well over this trip at Ripon and further rain would aid his cause. Dante's View has been placed in five of six starts though has never encountered soft going but SWIFT WING gave supporters of the odds-on Holy Kingdom a fright at Chelmsford and was only beaten a length on soft going at Haydock earlier. John Gosden's charge can get off the mark though King Power, last of three when long odds-on at Chelmsford, wasn't beaten far in a better race at Ascot. Lady Scatterley and Vibrance have had numerous chances and don't look quite good enough.
