Shaun Lycett has had a really good summer with his string at this venue and THE WINGED ASSASIN can add to the tally. Second on both outings here, his latest runner-up effort behind the ex-Aidan O'Brien trained Banyan Tree looks the standout form and he is preferred to Dunshane who has gone well on both outings since joining Evan Williams from Ireland. Tara Rose has shown enough in bumper company to be of interest and Morning Farewell, more exposed than the rest, has each-way claims but has found winning so hard. It might be worth checking out Swift Chap in the market on this first run since recently joining Philip Hobbs.
