MY PROSPERO is clear at the weights having finished runner-up in a Group 2 at York last time. He can land this before having another crack at next month’s Champion Stakes at Ascot. King Of Conquest and Savvy Victory share the same official rating and both won Listed races on a faster surface before struggling in a Group 3 at Haydock but it was heavy going when There's The Door beat Persist and Rousay in a handicap over track and trip last month. Bill Silvers and Sierra Blanca are maiden winners returning from lay-offs with the latter debuting for a new yard.
