A typically tricky end to proceedings with several arriving in top form. Holley Shiftwell had The Art Of Racing behind when second at Haydock last month and improved again to end Lexington Place's winning run at Epsom with a bit in hand. Stuart Williams' filly should be in the firing-line while Normal Equilibrium has been quite highly tried since winning at Chester in May. Jadanna is speedy but Shore Step's winning form is over 6f and Pixilated has been raised 3lb for a narrow win in lesser company at Sandown. EXTRASOLAR travels strongly in his races and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop to 5f. Amanda Perrett's gelding can win again as Miss Diva has struggled this term.
