Actualisation showed his best form on soft ground at Ayr and wasn't suited to a slow gallop at Haydock last time. Oceanus has undoubtedly been disappointing though he was staying on over a mile at Epsom last time so this stiff uphill climb to the finish should suit. CIRENCESTER, a daughter of Sea The Stars, was well supported for her debut at Ascot but looked in need of experience and didn't get going until too late. She can land this as though Mayleen made good ground behind Roar at Beverley she'll find this tougher. Avantgardist is a half-brother to seven winners and should make a nice middle-distance performer, a remark that also applies to Wild Shot who is a half-brother to the useful Highland Knight.
