Richard Hannon has won three of the last six renewals of this prize and TEA IN TRANSVAAL can make experience count on this occasion. The daughter of Teofilo performed with plenty of credit on her debut at Ascot and she can be anticipated to have come on for that run. Kinloss and Pretty Flemingo will also represent the handler and either would be of interest in the event of any market support. Olly Stevens is making a great start to his training career and Lightning Thunder has to enter calculations. Related to a nursery winner, her auction price leapt up markedly from the amount she realised as a yearling. Ed Dunlop isn't noted for too many first-time out winners although Country Drive is a half-sister to a six-furlong winner and could be anything. Sound Of Summer has an interesting jockey booking and is one to note with the future in the mind.
