Unquestionable (13/8), Bucanero Fuerte (9/4), Porta Fortuna (7/2), Givemethebeatboys (10/1), His Majesty (12/1), Gaenari (50/1), Launch (150/1)

There wasn't much between BUCANERO FUERTE and Unquestionable in the Railway Stakes over this C&D last month, and it should be close between them once again. Bucanero Fuerte displayed a willing attitude that day and, with further progress on the cards, he may again have the edge on Aidan O'Brien's charge. Porta Fortuna is 3-3 following her success in the Albany at Royal Ascot and, also open to further improvement, she is likely to give the aforementioned colts plenty to think about.
