The one who stands out is the highly progressive MERCHANT, who impressed with how he responded for pressure having still had plenty to pass approaching the final furlong in the King George V Stakes (Handicap) at Royal Ascot, which points to him being a Group class performer. Of the opposition, Sir Dinadan looks most interesting back down in grade having shaped a good deal better than his finishing position suggests in the Irish Derby.
