Racing Stripes can see off Relkida and Scented Present in this small field. Mick Channon¿s Relkida will have plenty of supporters after her Windsor success last time. That came as no surprise after two good performances at the same track and she is clearly respected and can go well. Scented Present got off the mark at Lingfield before being well beaten in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot. However, a fine third in a Listed contest at Sandown last time suggests that he cannot be ignored here. Racing Stripes put two placed efforts at Folkestone behind him when scoring in impressive fashion at Windsor and the runner up has gone in since. Racing Stripes can win again.
