KONCHECK coped well with the step up to 6f at Newmarket when finding only Advertise too good in the Group 2 July Stakes. Charming Kid finished third with Sporting Chance well beaten and Clive Cox’ colt should make a bold bid on that form.

Sabre attempts today’s distance for the first time having placed in the Windsor Castle at Ascot but Shine So Bright will need to improve on his fifth in the Coventry, The Hannon yard have a tremendous record in this contest and Neverland Rock drops back down in distance after placing over 7f with Frankie taking over the reins today.
