Both Paul Midgley and Nigel Tinkler saddle a trio of runners in this. Saluti looks the pick of the former’s runners on his fifth in the Stewards’ Cup consolation at Goodwood when he finished three lengths ahead of Secretinthepark but it’s about time PRINCESS POWER was getting her head back in front. She was doing her best work at the finish last time at Ascot and this stiff 5f suits her style of running. Tenax also has a squeak but a bigger danger may be Musharrif, another previous course and distance winner who wasn’t beaten far here last week and is back on a winning mark.
