Redolent, stepping back to one mile here is the pick to land what is the feature contest of the day. Cheek-pieces were removed for his last effort in a German Group 3 over ten furlongs, where after looking the most likely winner he was run out of it by a proven horse over the trip with solid form in the grade within his home country. The drop back to a mile will suit Redolent, who was a smart juvenile last season. Appalachian Trail is a seven furlong specialist who is always vulnerable over a mile to strong finishers. A drop of rain over the weekend would not do his chances any harm though. Calming Influence made a winning seasonal debut at Newmarket but subsequently disappointed at Royal Ascot in the Jersey when strongly fancied. He is clearly better than that showing and remains a horse of some potential but the yard have had a couple of hot pots turned over in recent weeks which is enough to give concerns. Easy Target caused a minor turn-up when beating the well-touted Atlantic Sport last time. It is unclear whether something was amiss with Mick Channon's colt following that Newbury race but the proximity of the remainder casts a shadow over the worth of the form. Redolent is selected to land the Pomfret Stakes.
