This looks wide-open with Folkswood making a promising start at Newmarket and Frankie preferring Leicester runner-up Shahbar to Jarir. Equistar was beaten only a head at Newbury and Bernie's Boy is another to consider having been beaten the same distance at Ascot three weeks ago. Hairdryer will likely improve after a debut fourth at Salisbury and is preferred to stablemate White Ensign but the speculative vote goes to MEDICIMAN. Henry Candy's colt never looked like catching Palawan when third at Salisbury on his introduction but the latter went close in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes here on Tuesday to boost the form.
