RAJASINGHE remains unbeaten having landed the Coventry Stakes at Ascot in good style last month. He carries a 3lb penalty but is taken to confirm latest running with Denaar, below par at Ascot though not written off given the Hannon yard has won five of the last seven renewals. Cardsharp was ahead of It Dont Come Easy when placed over 5f in the Norfolk Stakes while Sound And Silence won the Windsor Castle over the minimum trip at Ascot last time. U S Navy Flag won a maiden at the Curragh recently, Invincible Army won easily over track and trip while Hey Gaman, Enjazaat and Alba Power all won novice events at Yarmouth. Grand Koonta also came good at Windsor and today’s faster ground should suit.
