City Ground beat stablemate Hernando Torres by more than three lengths in a similar race at Beverley last month and, though well beaten at Musselburgh next time, Serena Brotherton keeps faith with the six-year-old. Yorksters Prince has won twice here in this grade this summer while Flag Of Glory and Al Furat only found one too good last time. But ARGAKI makes a swift reappearance under a penalty after winning in better company at Musselburgh on Wednesday and can complete the double. He's already won over this longer trip.
