This could go to NATURAL LAW who is preferred to Point Out and Inside Track. The selection hails from a yard in red hot form and this colt progressed from his first run to second when he finished third behind Realisation at Epsom. He won't need to improve much again to score and with the stable firing in winners for fun, he makes plenty of appeal. Inside Track is another with a similar profile and he looks to be going the right way on the evidence of his second at Chester earlier in the month. However, at this stage in his career 7f looks to be his best trip and he is narrowly passed over on this occasion. The John Gosden-trained newcomer Point Out could be of interest but the trainer is having a quiet spell by his standards and unless there is significant market support then he could be best watched. Loden will need to improve on what he has shown on the racecourse so far to get competitive, and we will stick with Natural Law as the pick.
