This is an interesting contest, with two of the runners dropping down to a more realistic level after having their sights raised at Royal Ascot, namely Bill Neigh and Ventura Flame. The former wasn't completely disgraced when contesting the Windsor Castle Stakes and could now start to fulfil the promise he showed when making a winning debut over C&D. The latter must also be respected as she had finished runner-up to an exciting type at Carlisle on debut. However, the one who appeals most is TIME FORCE who is turned out fairly quickly after running very well for a long way before finding the trip too far in what was a competitive affair at Yarmouth last week.
