It’s strange to see such a one-sided betting market for this notoriously competitive sprint. But that’s down to the impression the unbeaten DREAMFIELD left when making a winning return over course and distance. The Godolphin colt missed the whole of last year through injury but beat the re-opposing Silent Echo with the minimum of fuss here last month and an entry in next month’s Group 1 Darley Stakes suggests there’s plenty more to come. Undrafted is not the force of old having won the Diamond Jubilee here back in 2015 but could still figure in this while Out Do won last year’s renewal off a similar mark. Intisaab finished in front of Tommy Taylor when scoring at Haydock last month but the latter’s stablemate Major Jumbo was beaten by Mr Lupton at York last month. That one, Brian The Snail and Growl make most appeal of Richard Fahey’s contingent while Blue De Vega, Victory Angel, Gilgamesh and Tupi are others worthy of consideration.
