Melting Dew, Alfaaris and Galactic Prince clashed over 10f at Chelmsford in May. Conditions are different here but nevertheless the weights favour Alfaaris. He should have improved since and have little difficulty staying this trip. Mister Blue Sky makes each-way appeal and Cape Coast is the dark horse comihg into this who needs a market check. BIN BATTUTA represents a yard that do well at the July fixtures here and the booking of Martin Lane who has a 100 percent strike rate for the trainer this year is on board. He was noted staying on from a hopeless position in the King George V at Royal Ascot and his earlier form suggests he is capable of defying topweight.
