Star Shield is bidding for a third win in four starts and this is his level nowadays. Gometra Ginty has already won five times around here and Flylikeaneagle scored over the track and trip in April but looks held on subsequent form. VIVE VOCE is hard to catch right but is only a pound higher than when winning over track and trip last month. He could reverse subsequent Ayr running with Yeeeaah if on a going day. Yaaser is better than he showed at Doncaster latest and Alazwar has travelled up from Lambourn, though Haydock winner Finbar's Lad looks a bigger danger.
