Steer By The Stars has a second at Ascot to her credit but disappointed last time while Red Joker and Capo Rosso were both placed in testing ground on their latest starts and can figure if taking to today's faster surface. Clock Opera will need to step up on her latest run at Ripon while the Richard Fahey newcomer Montcliffe has entries in the upcoming sales races and is worth a second look. Kevin Ryan has won the last two renewals and a hat-trick looks on the cards with the 80,000gns Oasis Dream debutant MYSTERIOUS WONDER, especially if the betting speaks in his favour.
