Radical Views has been striding out well at home, and can make a winning start at the expense of St Philip, Romanov Dynasty and Moorlander to name but a few. Radical Views is well related, being a full-brother to both No Excuse Needed and Nawadi, and has entries in a couple of Group 2 contests, the Champagne Stakes at York and the Royal Lodge at Ascot. He is obviously thought useful then, and will be expected to go well on his debut here for the Barry Hills yard. He takes on a few more experienced rivals, notably Romanov Dynasty and St Philip, the latter having to contend with a low draw in stall two but with a promising second over the course-and-distance to his credit just over a fortnight ago. His conqueror that day, Magic Mountain, is trained by Richard Hannon, responsible here for Romanov Dynasty, another with plenty of Group entries. Second to subsequent Richmond Stakes winner Hamoody on his Newmarket debut, he failed to progress at Goodwood but is better than that effort indicates and is another live threat here. Both Fine Ruler and Moorlander hail from stables that do well at the Wiltshire track, and they add to the conundrum, but if Radical Views can translate his homework to the track, he can come up trumps first time.
