Course and distance winner SALATEEN has the highest rating of these and won in a higher grade at York in July. He had no chance in the Prix de la Foret at Longchamp earlier this month but should find this much more to his liking and is readily preferred to fellow three-year-olds Mobsta and Justice Well. Dinkum Diamond was running over 7f for the first time in 44 starts at Leicester but landed the spoils. However, it would be no surprise if the more reliable Highland Colori proved the pick of the older horses with B Fifty Two likely to find this too far.
