Karl Burke has his string in good form at present and TRAFALGAR BAY can provide him with another winner; the list of dangers is headed by Dixey and Pravda Street. The selection got going too late at Ascot last time but he had won well previously and he still looks to be on a competitive mark. He has a good draw and he can run a big race. Dixey has won in June on each of the last two years, but she disappointed at Lingfield last time the race has not worked out well. Pravda Street dead-heated at Newmarket last month and the blinkers which seemed to have a positive effect that day are dispensed with here. Quest For Success has trip and ground to suit but he has been a little disappointing on his last couple of starts. This is wide open and the vote goes to Trafalgar Bay.
