WISSAHICKON has to be forgiven a below par effort at Newmarket last time but had looked progressive before that recording wins at Lingfield and York. John Gosden’s colt gets a chance to prove his latest running all wrong and come out best. Mr Reckless and Juneau have looked high enough in the weights since winning at Wetherby and Epsom respectively while Three Weeks has been off the track since March when beaten in a tough conditions race. Ryan Moore rode on that occasion but he partners the returning Blue Mist today as the latter makes his handicap debut.
