Richard Hannon has won this four times in the last 10 years and has another leading candidate this season in North Star Boy. He ran his best race so far when fourth in the July Stakes at Newmarket eight days ago but has three lengths to find with B FIFTY TWO on earlier running in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. John Hills' colt had scored earlier at Bath and Newmarket and can recapture the winning thread here. Caspar Netscher was third in the Windsor Castle but has been beaten in both previous tries over this extra furlong. The unbeaten pair Factory Time and Wise Venture could prove the pick of the remainder as Saigon probably didn't beat much at Yarmouth last month.
