KINGKEER stuck on in the manner of one who'll be at least as effective at this longer trip when fourth at Newbury earlier in the month, so he looks as interesting as any, especially with some of his earlier form reading quite well. Dancingwithmyself could still have more to offer if seeing out this still longer trip, with Calvert also feared having returned to form at Goodwood the previous month.
