tracked leaders, took keen hold for 1f, soon ridden along, lost touch from 2f out
Stonefield Flyer sets a very high standard here on his second to subsequent July Stakes winner Frederick Engels in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot. There's every chance that Keith Dalgleish's colt will prove just as effective over this extra furlong but he possibly lacks the potential of PIMPERNEL. Mahmood Al Zarooni's filly showed a nice turn of foot to score over 5f on debut at Lingfield and, being from the same family as Eagle Mountain and Prix Marcel Boussac winner Sulk, is only going to improve as she tackles longer trips. West Leake Hare landed the odds at Leicester last month but this is appreciably tougher.
