A three-year-old has won two of the previous three renewals and FORT DEL ORO (NAP) looks sure to make a bold bid. The Irish filly was having only her third start when running well in a Group 3 sprint at the Curragh behind Mattmu with subsequent Beverley Bullet winner Maarek behind. Lucky Kristale was beaten only a head in the Group 3 Summer Stakes over track and trip in July with One Chance and Explosive Lady behind while Divine just got the better of Online Alexander in a Listed sprint at Pontefract three weeks ago but the latter re-opposes on better terms. Mubtaghaa has come up short in pattern company before but won a valuable sales race over course and distance last year and Moonraker is not out of this back over 6f.
