William Buick sticks with Al Suhail despite finishing a place behind stablemate D'bai when third in Listed company at Newbury. With Thanks finished behind the latter pair at Newbury though has subsequently landed a Listed contest at Ascot while Horoscope took a step forward when placed in a Group 2 at Leopardstown. But CHINDIT (NAP) has been aimed high since landing the Greenham Stakes back in April and returns to 7f for the first time since. Unlucky not to get a clear run in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood last time, the Hannon colt is fancied to make a bold bid in this. Double Or Bubble ran well in the Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster last month and is preferred to Safe Voyage while the smart sprinter Garrus has yet to race over this far.
