There was plenty to like about the way LIBERTY BEACH built on her Royal Ascot performance when winning a Listed race last time out and she could be hard to beat for a yard who have already enjoyed a winner at this meeting this week. The Joseph O'Brien pair look interesting and Air Force Jet wasn't beaten far in Listed company last time. Maven is interesting after his Group 3 in France and Raahy could represent some each-way value after a smart effort at Lingfield last time.
