Onaraggatip was staying on late over 6f at Leicester and runs over 7f for the first time this season. The going was too quick for North Of Amazing last time at Hamilton but Fantasy Master has yet to race beyond 6f and was also engaged at Haydock last night. Third Kingdom may have needed his run at Doncaster but he’s yet to prove himself on this surface whereas Farasi Lane placed on heavy going at Goodwood last year. Second on soft going as a juvenile, IL BANDITO (NAP) won on good to soft at Haydock in May before failing to cope with a much quicker surface at that track last month. Ryan Moore rides today and he may be the one to beat getting 7lb from recent course and distance runner-up Run To Freedom. Typical Man sports cheekpieces for the first time and is preferred to Bowman of the others.
