The Tatling provided trainer Milton Bradley with the biggest win of his career when landing the King's Stand Stakes last month but the seven-year-old may struggle to follow up under his penalty and preference is for Boogie Street, who gets the vote over The Kiddykid. The selection has two lengths to find with The Tatling on Royal Ascot form but was done few favours with the draw there. Richard Hannon's three-year-old has no such problems here with a favourable high draw and, on the revised terms, is taken to reverse previous form. The David Evans-trained The Kiddykid reversed earlier form with the smart Arakan to land a Group 3 race at The Curragh in May before losing no caste in defeat in Newcastle's Chipchase Stakes on soft ground last week. A reproduction of that form would see him go close and he rates a bigger threat than the likes of Ringmoor Down, Stormont and Colonel Cotton, who all have a bit to find on King's Stand form from their draws. Orientor has to be respected with the stable of Jim Goldie running into form but preference is for Boogie Street who can make the most of the weight that he receives from his older rivals.
