OH THIS IS US is penalised for winning a Listed contest at Haydock early this year but wasn’t disgraced in the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood last time despite facing much tougher opposition than this. Ibn Malik and Mutawathea were both well beaten in handicaps on their latest starts while Summer Icon looks up against it on these terms but Dream Of Dreams could prove a threat if lasting home. He attempts 7f for the first time today but an earlier second at York in the Listed Rockingham Stakes gives him every chance.
