Plenty with claims in this but the veteran TROOPINGTHECOLOUR has had just the three starts since early last year and can race off the same mark as when placed in a Class 3 contest at Kempton. He gets a speculative vote given Mystery Drama was well beaten at Goodwood last time having won over track and trip before that. Cerutty has something to find with the latter on collateral form and Injun Sands is upped in class after scoring at Lingfield. Royal Warranty, Sarpech and Perfect Summer were all below par last time but are capable of much better on their day.
Cerutty (IRE) 4-1 (9-3) Tracked leaders, went 2nd and ridden over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, no impression with winner, 2nd of 5, 2 1/4l behind High Secret (9-0) at Chelmsford City 1m 5f hcp 0-85 (4) pol in May.
Troopingthecolour 14-1 (8-11) Raced wide tracked leaders, went 2nd 8f out, ridden over 2f out, every chance when ridden and edged left over 1f out, not quicken inside final furlong, 3rd of 9, 2 1/4l behind Majeed (8-5) at Kempton 1m 3f hcp 0-95 (3) pol in May.
Mystery Drama 12-1 (9-3) Held up towards rear, headway over 3f out, chased leaders 2f out, every chance inside final furlong, faded closing stages, 4th of 11, 2 3/4l behind Gavlar (8-13) at Goodwood 2m hcp 0-90 (3) gd.
Royal Warranty 13-2 (8-4) Held up tracking leading trio, ridden 2f out, weakened over 1f out, 9th of 11, 15l behind Quest For More (9-4) at Goodwood 1m 6f hcp 0-105 (2) gd in May.

Injun Sands 5-2 (9-4) Slowly into stride, soon tracking leaders, pushed along and outpaced over 2f out, staying on when switched right and avoided trouble on inside just over 1f out, strong run into 2nd inside final 150 yards, led close home, won at Lingfield 1m 4f hacp 0-70 (5) pol in May beating Felix Fabulla (9-5) by nk, 6 ran.
