Mark Johnston has won both previous renewals and Yorkidding receives weight all round. She's been taking on decent opposition since winning at York and Sandown in May and a big run is anticipated. But fellow three-year-old FUTURE EMPIRE (NAP) is likely to be a hot favourite off the back of a second to Mr Singh in a Group 3 at Newmarket last month. That was no fluke as he'd earlier finished third in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot. Pressure Point is in terrific form and should go well again, despite a further rise in the weights, while Croquembouche goes well fresh so an absence since May isn't a worry. Mighty Yar is starting to look well treated and is a rare runner here for Lady Cecil.
