Verdict
Ceiling Kitty beat last month's York winner Hoyam by a length when completing a hat-trick in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and has the beating of Fire Eyes on the form book. But that means she has to meet the colts here off level terms and she'll have to improve again to get the better of SIR PRANCEALOT. A winner over this trip in the National Stakes at Sandown at the end of May, Richard Hannon's charge has since finished close up in two Group 2 races over 6f and was only a length-and-a-half behind top-rated juvenile Reckless Abandon in the Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville last month. He should get back on track here. Bungle Inthejungle beat Morawij by a head in the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood but then finished tailed off in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh while the runner-up was last when favourite for the Gimcrack at York next time.
