Bounced back from two disappointing runs when 3rd in the Group 3 Royal Whip Stakes behind Lafayette. Needs to build on that to have any chance of winning here.

Pride Of America
Has won 3 times from 7 starts this season including the valuable John Smith's Cup at York. Yet to win out of handicap company in four career attempts and will probably find a few too good here as well.

Imperial Fighter
Has shown absolutely nothing in 5 runs so far this season. Returns from a 53 day break here. Impossible to fancy.

Royal Rhyme
Won a Glorious Goodwood handicap by over 6 lengths when last 51 days ago. Steps into Listed company for the first time today but has some solid form in the book and definitely deserves his chance.
Any rain that falls will also aid his cause.

Lakota Sioux
Ended her 2yo campaign with two poor runs in Group 1 and Group 2 company. Prior to that she won the Group 3 Sweet Solera stakes at Newmarket and was placed in the Chesham at Royal Ascot behind Holloway Boy.
Having her first run of the year here and also steps up to 10f. The market will be the best guide to her chances after a long layoff.

Luckin Brew
Another filly who is having her first run of the season after being off 341 days. She won 1 of her 4 starts last season but did seem to be progressing nicely finishing her campaign with a narrow defeat in a listed race at Pontefract.
Seems pretty versatile with regards to ground. Hard to know what to expect after a long layoff and now stepping up from a 1m to 1m 2f.

Batemans Bay
Finished 10th of 14 in the Queens Vase at Royal Ascot on his only start of the season so far. Has his first run for Kevin Ryan today having been switched from Ralph Beckett.
Also markedly down in trip. Probably best watched on stable debut.
