ROYAL FLEET hasn’t raced since landing a Group 3 contest at Meydan in February but has every chance on these terms and his stable is in fine form. Cadillac has switched yards once again but is penalised for winning a Listed race in Ireland in June while the front-runner Peter The Great struggled in Group 3 company at Haydock having earlier landed a couple of handicaps. Sinjaari steps back up on distance though yet to win at this level while Rousay has plenty to find at the weights but that was also the case when winning a Listed race at Salisbury last time.
