Firth of Fifth, Perfect Shot and Black'n'Brew are the trio to look at here with Firth of Fifth taken to make up for some near misses. Perfect Shot makes his debut for John Dunlop here and is a half brother to the classy Atlantis Prince who won over this trip. The stable sent out a Royal Ascot winner on Wednesday and it would be no surprise to see this son of High Chaparral go well. John Best saddled the winner of the Windsor Castle Stakes and fellow juvenile Black'n'Brew has good credentials here. He has shaped with promise in both his starts to date and can reach a place with the benefit of those experiences. Firth of Fifth looks a winner waiting to happen after some solid runs behind classy types-one was third at Royal Ascot-and he may have met a classy Paul Cole newcomer last time. Firth of Fifth tries an extra furlong here and can prove too good for his rivals.
