NAVAJO NATION may be the answer to a tight finale where Atacama Sunrise and Extremely So are others to bear in mind. Brian Meehan's charge is a little difficult to weigh up as there's no doubt that his four and a half length third to subsequent Listed winner Glass Harmonium flatters him but the Doncaster maiden in which he reappeared has worked out well whilst this is a fair bit easier than the handicap in which he finished in midfield during Glorious Goodwood. This is a more realistic assignment and it's to be hoped that he's up to the task. Atacama Sunrise attracted support at fancy prices prior to scoring by a length from Mykingdomforahorse here last time and a 4lb rise and longer trip may be insufficient to anchor her. She brings stronger credentials into the race than Extremely So who has been off since blotting her copybook at Nottingham when amateur ridden but the McBride filly has each-way claims on her form prior to that. Playful Asset and Chantilly Dancer may have had their confidence boosted by victories at a lesser level but look opposable; Noordhoek Kid could conceivably improve for the various applications with which he's been fitted whilst Hypnotist would have leading claims if able to recapture the form that he showed over shorter in May so most of the field have possibilities but Navajo Nation may be able to take their scalps.
