Made all, ridden 2f out, ran on well
Dwelt, in rear, kept on same pace inside final furlong
Chased leaders, ridden to join leader 2f out, kept on same pace inside final furlong
Salsoul was only headed inside the final furlong when joint favourite on his second start at Hamilton but Selected, who ran in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, is probably the pick of those with experience despite a slightly disappointing effort last time at Ayr. Neither are unbeatable, however, and are taken on with ASADJUMEIRAH, a sharply-bred son of Adaay who is a half-brother to three winners including the dual Group 2 winner Heartache. Bobby's Rose could also be worth noting for future reference.
