WORDSWORTH was narrowly beaten in Listed company at Navan last month but the Ballydoyle colt is a full brother to Kew Gardens, who won this in 2018 before landing the St Leger, and can go one better today. He’s preferred to stablemates Arturo Toscanini and Kyprios while the Gosden yard also run three with Frankie on board Stowell, who is fitted with a tongue-strap today having won over 1m4f here last month. Ruling placed in Listed company at Leopardstown last time and is preferred to stablemate Benaud while Dancing King is unbeaten in handicaps so far this year but is upped in class along with stable companion Golden Flame. Both Kemari and Taipan look likely to improve for this extra distance and are others to consider.
