Sound Of Guns has had anything but clear runs in her two starts this season and the Flying Childers third should be in the shake-up. David O'Meara has wreaked improvement out of SMOOTHTALKINRASCAL since joining him in March and he was a very unlucky loser of the Dash at Epsom. He certainly deserves this step-up in grade and can gain compensation. Morawij is penalised for his Listed race victory here last summer but ran a fine race on his reappearance in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock and has to be a major threat. Dutch Masterpiece was gaining his fourth victory on his seventh start at Chester and he's another who is entitled to take his place in this better class event.
