Dual course and distance winner LA ISLA BONITA blew the start here last time. She has the beating of De Vegas Kid on earlier running here, despite the revised weights, and may also be too good for King of Dreams, who was only fourth dropping back to this trip at Newmarket and is better over a mile nowadays. The Third Man and Glenn Coco have both been below par this term but Wahaab won at Chepstow in June, though would have benefited from some rain.
