CITY WANDERER, the only three-year-old in the line-up, is progressing nicely and though up 5lb for his Chester victory can overcome the extra with Silvestre De Sousa back in the saddle. Data Protection has the advantage of a course and distance victory and has gradually slipped to a winnable mark so he looks a danger and holds Duke Of North on their latest run at Windsor. Rampant Lion has slipped to a handy mark as the consequence of several moderate efforts but the remaining pair don't have much to recommend them.

Narjes 16-1 (9-11) Slowly away and reluctant to race, raced keenly and in touch in rear over 5f out, ran on late, no chance, 5th of 9, 5 1/4l behind The Lords Walk (9-4) at Epsom 1m 1f hcp (5) gd in Jul.
