Unrivalled faces a straightforward task here and should be too good for his rivals, with Miss Langkawi and Prenup the ones likely to give him most to do. The selection was a beaten favourite behind Crocodile Dundee at Lingfield last time when he tried to make all over seven furlongs. The drop in trip here should suit and he is a confident choice. The John Gosden colt had previously run well in Listed company at Ascot and looks a cut above his rivals here. Miss Langkawi hails from the Geoff Wragg yard she could be interesting if she is supported in the market. She is by Daylami and should have plenty of speed, but may need this her first run. Prenup is from the Luca Cumani yard and is another well bred individual who could go well. Of the rest, Intikraft has had plenty of chances and looks one to avoid, while A Monk Swimming was disappointing on his debut behind Jadan at Catterick but may be suited by the extra furlong here. This is a fascinating race but one which should go the way of Unrivalled.
