PRICELESS has obvious claims having gone close to catching Dancing Star in a similar contest over track and trip earlier this month and finishing ahead of several of these in the process. Clive Cox’ charge can confirm running with Projection and Mont Kiara and come out best again. Dutch Destiny remains unexposed having won at Haydock recently and steps up a couple of grades while Thetis drops back in trip having failed to build on her second in last year’s Rockfel Stakes here. Rah Rah drops in class on her first start since May and Papa Luigi’s winning run came to an end at Bath last time when failing to cope with a hike in the weights.
