Royal Fleet remains unbeaten despite proving headstrong at Newmarket when winning on his handicap debut and is fitted with a hood today. WISHAAH also won on his handicap bow at Headquarters in a first-time tongue-tie and both placed horses have subsequently gone in. Jim Crowley prefers him to Aldaary and Owen Burrows’ charge should go close again in a wide-open contest. Raadobarg’s winning run came to an end in the Britannia at Ascot while Star Of Orion was narrowly beaten in the International heritage handicap over 7f at the same track. Dejame Paso and Isla Kai are upped in class bidding for hat-tricks while Rifleman and Marsabit are not out of this either.
