Dominium beat Smokethatthunders and Thataboy over track and trip last month and the latter pair have subsequently won. Jeremy Gask's charge also finished ahead of Ambitious Boy when runner-up here on his latest start and looks sure to go close again. Head Space is penalised for scoring at Kempton a week ago while Clearing is 8lb higher than her win at Lingfield in July. But ROYAL BRAVE (NAP) has gone close on the Turf of late and it's Bill Muir's colt that gets the nod dropped in class for this.
