A small field goes to post for this Group 3 contest but it is very competitive non the less and the principals look to be Island House, Right Approach, Far Lane and Sabre d' Argent and we will take a chance on Right Approach. The colt from the Sir Michael Stoute yard has been placed in group ,1 and 3 company this season and a reproduction of his latest third behind Tillerman under similar conditions would make him hard to beat. Island House rates the main danger he was fourth behind Ikthyar last time out and again he will run his usual game race but he is a much better horse with cut in the ground so for that reason we will oppose him on this occasion. Far Lane won a handicap in the style of an improved horse last time when defeating Etessal but he will have to have improved again to win this. Sabre d'Argent is one of the least exposed in the field won a listed race last time out when defeating Rocket Force but he to will need to improve again to score. Izdiham looks outclassed so we are happy to side with Right Approach.
