Kew The Music is given the tentative vote here with Woodbury and Stamford Blue rated as the main dangers. The selection is difficult to catch right but he hails from an in-form yard and has plenty of ability, so he might be worth chancing here off what looks a handy mark. Woodbury rates the main danger as she is proven on this surface and she was a good second at Wolverhampton last time behind Prince Of Gold. A reproduction of that effort would see her go close and she has to be on the shortlist. Stamford Blue was a good second behind Muy Bien at Windsor last time, but he has been off the track since April and may just need the run, so he is probably best watched on this occasion. Tsarbuck is another worth considering but the suspicion is that he is slightly better over further and for that reason he is passed over, and for the winner we return to Kew The Music.
