LIMATO (NAP) may not be the force of old but is still capable at this level and won a tougher Listed race than this at Newmarket last time. Clear of these on today’s terms, Henry Candy’s charge can go in again. Kimberella is hard to catch right though capable in this grade on his day while Justanotherbottle ran a big race in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood when caught on the line. Tropics seems to prefer the all-weather nowadays and the three-year-old Stormbringer is preferred taking on older sprinters for the first time. Perfect Angel lost her way last year and debuts for Richard Hughes on her return.
