The Trader had several of theses rivals behind when fourth in the King's Stand Stakes including Indian Prince (fifth) and Jessica's Dream (seventh). The latter may struggle to reverse the form under a 5lb penalty for her Group 3 success at The Curragh but Indian Prince looked unlucky not to finish closer at Ascot having veered to his right in the closing stages and is the TEAMtalk selection to gain compensation. Irish raider Agnetha is worth close inspection on her narrow defeat in Listed company recently while Whitbarrow was below par last time but goes well here (won Molecomb last term) and has place claims if back to his best.
