Not short of pace, Commonwealth Cup runner-up ARIZONA BLAZE can cope with the drop in trip. Although the Adrian Murray-trained colt boasts just the solitary success over the minimum distance, he made most when easily landing a Group 3 at Chantilly over just half a furlong further in April. Always leading his own group when touched off at Royal Ascot, the three-year-old has the speed to be very competitive. The hat-trick seeking Mgheera holds strong claims. Unbeaten in both starts since joining Ed Walker, the mare was withdrawn at the start of the King Charles III Stakes and now has the services of Ryan Moore. Fellow British raider Rumstar also looks to have a decent chance. |
MGHEERA is unbeaten for her new yard and the form of her latest win was franked in the King Charles II at Royal Ascot so she is expected to follow up here. She had Rumstar in behind that day who has since followed up in the Coral Charge and may be able to chase the selection home here. Arizona Blaze has been busy this year but produced a career best in the Commonwealth Cup last time so is also respected but he will need a stiff test down in trip. The progressive Powerful Nation will be suited by a stiff 5f and completes the list of danger. |

Bit below form, set it up for strong staying closer when beaten 4l in the Dash Stakes (Listed) over 6f here last time; wide draw; not quite the force of old but competitive at Listed level; this demands more. |
