There's no disputing Peter Niven's confidence behind Clever Cookie and having dead-heated in a Listed race on the Knavesmire, he cannot be ruled out despite returning to handicaps off a 19lb higher mark than that which he had earlier obliged off over the track and trip. Farraaj would have been a confident selection had he not been handed a draw of 22 so we prefer the claims of BOLD SNIPER. Sir Michael Stoute's gelding wasn't far away in the Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot and the form of that race appears particularly strong. Chancery is sure to have his supporters having scored here last month, while Tres Coronas (third) and Educate (tenth) attempt to improve upon last year's positions. Tarikhi ran respectably on his reappearance and having finished second in the 2013 Britannia Stakes, he can make his experience of racing in big handicaps count. Salutation would be interesting if getting into the race as he put up a career best when second in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.
