Bobsleigh

Followed two wins with creditable effort in G2 at Royal Ascot over 1200m. Excuses since – drop to 1031m then soft ground. Respected.

2

Zabriskie Point

Won Novice in May. Returned this month with narrow defeat in another Novice. Likely to improve. In the mix.

3

Starlust

Won Maiden and Novice then good second in competitive Handicap at Goodwood. On fair handicap mark and in the mix.

8

Blue Prince

After won first Handicap race easily his handicap mark was raised considerably. Has to show that he is up to it.
