An interesting contest but it should boil down to a match between Mr Sandancer and Supremacy. The former has been taking on some of the best of his generation and should appreciate this drop in grade. James Given's charge looked as though he'd appreciate this step up in trip when a staying-on fourth under top weight behind Systematic at York last month. The lightly raced Supremacy makes a quick reappearance after failing to get competitive behind Burning Sun in a 10f Listed event at Royal Ascot last week and this half-brother to High-Rise will be no pushover in receipt of 4lb and over a trip that will suit.
