The two Richards - Hannon and Fahey - always target this valuable prize and it's no different this time round with the pair fielding five and two runners respectively. Miami Girl, a dual winner and a good fifth of 21 in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot looks best of the Hannon quintet and should be in the mix, likewise DARE TO HOPE for the Fahey team, whose debut defeat of subsequent Royal Ascot runner-up and Listed winner, Rocket Rodney, reads especially well. He should appreciate the return to the minimum trip and just gets the nod over Maria Bramwell, winner of Sandown's National Stakes and an excellent third in the Queen Mary when two places ahead of the aforementioned Miami Girl. Rogue Spirit looks to be going the right way too and should not be left out of calculations either.
