Three-year-olds have much the best record in this but the four-year-old Tabarrak is a threat this time on his latest second in a Group 3 at Salisbury, though he does have a penalty to carry. Stablemate Tupi and Koropick are similarly burdened and more interesting is Dream Of Dreams, apparently back to his best upped to this trip at Lingfield last Saturday. Second Thought came up against Harry Angel when second in a Grade 2 at Haydock in May. He hasn’t raced since but has won over 7f on Polytrack. EARTHA KITT was just beaten over Pontefract’s stiff 6f in this grade last time so she’s probably worth another try over this extra furlong. Princess De Lune could be anything after making an impressive winning debut over course and distance but this is a massive step up.
