Ziryab has been gelded since a well-beaten favourite behind Fantasy Believer at Newmarket in July and Intricacy has had the same operation since his third at Newbury in August, though that latter run is working out well. The City's Phantom may need quicker going but Box To Box has won on good to soft, though all of his victories so far have come at Chester. Forceful Speed escapes a penalty after completing a hat-trick at Epsom so will be hard to beat again but CHELSEA GREEN gives the impression she will have a future over this trip once she learns to settle. James McHenry, who looked promising in the spring, is also respected.
