A number of these have struggled to get their head in front so with a degree of caution, a speculative interest about RYAN STYLE is advised. Lisa Williamson's gelding was sent off as favourite for this race last year finishing third before being disqualified for not drawing the correct weight. He arrives at Epsom some 9lb lower on this occasion and it is hoped that he can leave some moderate soft ground form behind. Top weight Flash City has placed three times this term and is clearly in good heart while Osiris Way hasn't obliged for over two years though Pat Chamings' veteran ran his best race for some time at Bath and the handicapper has not taken evasive action. Fair Value appears to appreciate fast ground and any market confidence in Simon Dow's four-year-old is noted.
