Verdict

Licence To Till makes a swift reappearance after finishing third at York on Wednesday but may again find a couple of these too good at the weights. Oxford Charley was in good form in the spring while Jiwen has been absent again since reappearing in May and may need more time. Silent Moment is unexposed on Turf but also higher rated than on the Polytrack while Godolphin's presumed second string, Prince Of Orange, needs to improve again on his victory in a Doncaster maiden, though is capable of doing so. We'll take a chance on SPECIFIC GRAVITY, who was fourth in a Group 3 at Ascot over this trip in June last year. Lightly campaigned since, Sir Henry Cecil's charge will have needed his comeback run at Goodwood and isn't badly treated on his best form. Lucky Henry's only win came over 6f and his stamina will be tested here.
