MISTER CHIANG was positively ridden at Goodwood last time and looked sure to win entering the final furlong. However, he tired in the soft ground and was caught close home – he may be able to hang on here on better going. Godolphin’s Island Jungle is a big danger, however, as he staying on over a mile at Haydock on his second start and is sure to be suited by the extra furlong. Oak Park looks held on the form book but Dark Lochnagar caught the eye at Wolverhampton, despite a tardy start, and will know more today. Al Suil Eile is another likely improver.
