Royal Scotsman had Chateau back in third when landing the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood. But the former was beaten by NOBLE STYLE at Ascot earlier. The latter is one of several unbeaten at a lower level but this is the first of a host of fancy entries for the Godolphin colt and he’s expected to pass the test. Marshman and Clearpoint are others putting their unbeaten records on the line with the former preferred after demolishing the field in novice company at Thirsk. The latter’s stablemate Cold Case shares ownership with Chuzzlewit while Catch The Paddy has won a handicap over track and trip.
