Plenty arrive in this off the back of good recent efforts. My Name Is Rio is only a pound higher than when winning at Ayr while Bahamian Heights came right back to form here in June, though is best over 6f. Veteran Captain Dunne is enjoying an Indian summer and blinkers could help Maljaa open his account for the season. Chilworth Icon, Royal Birth and Arctic Feeling are others to consider in a wide-open affair but the vote goes to TOP BOY (NAP). Recent rain is probably in the latter's favour and he came up against a couple of improvers when third at Goodwood last month.
