Saint George ran a career best when a close second in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot and has very strong claims dropping back a furlong in trip. Going up in trip looks a good move for Castle Way, having dominated a Listed contest over 1m2f on the Rowley Mile course in April and has bundles of potential. Slight preference, though, is for TOWER OF LONDON, who looks to be improving at a rate of knots and having won a premier handicap off a mark of 99 last time with his head in his chest, the son of Galileo looks another potential star stayer for connections.

An interesting renewal. TOWER OF LONDON looked on a steep upward curve when scoring twice in Ireland last month and can extend his winning run to three. Queen's Vase runner-up Saint George rates an obvious danger, while Klondike has come a long way in a short time and should have more to offer.

Five of these bring clear potential but it's SAINT GEORGE (nap) and Tower Of London who head them on form.

Purosangue was impressive on his debut at Haydock, but there has to be a slight worry about him being on the best part of the track that day and it might be worth taking him on. Mountain Bear improved plenty on his debut to win nicely on his second start and that level of form would put him in the mix with further improvement to come. There was so much to like about the run of MALC in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot, keeping on really well in the closing stages and suggesting the extra yardage should be ideal. Any improvement on that Ascot effort would make him very hard to beat.

Preference is for MOUNTAIN BEAR, who is in top hands and remains open to improvement on the back of his maiden success at the Curragh last month. Norfolk Stakes runner-up Malc is feared most with the step up in trip likely to be in his favour, whilst Purosangue hails from a yard whose juveniles tend to come on plenty from their first outing and is also much respected.

The two most appealing contenders are the clearcut Haydock winners PUROSANGUE and Lake Forest in that order of preference.

A super competitive race and another rematch between Washington Heights and QUINAULT. The former has done nothing wrong in either of their last two clashes and deserves a prize of this nature, but the latter is on such a role and can bag his sixth win on the bounce, with things likely to set up ideally once more. Tajalla is completely unexposed and is likely to take a step forward so is very much respected. Cases can also be made for Desert Cop, Tough Enough and Be Frank who all have the ability to take the big pot on offer.

BE FRANK was strong at the finish when making a winning handicap debut at Windsor and there is more to come from him. He gets the vote in a red-hot contest. The form of last month's valuable 3-y-o York 6f handicap is well represented with the first 4 home, led by the thriving Quinault, who seems sure to go close again with old rival Washington Heights. Frankness is also considered.

Several have already proved themselves in big-field handicaps but TOUGH ENOUGH impressed at Windsor and has better to come.

This represents a drop in grade for 2021 Derby and King George hero ADAYAR, who is fancied to bounce back following a fair third behind Mostahdaf in the Prince Of Wales at Royal Ascot last month. He should be far too good for the opposition if anywhere near the pick of his form, while recent Listed runner-up Israr can give him plenty to think about eased in distance. The selection's stablemate, Global Storm, is a Group 2 winner in his own right and is by no means a back marker, while Grand Alliance completes the quartet.

An excellent opportunity for the high-class ADAYAR to resume winning ways back down in class. Israr is a clear next best.

His top-level wins were in 2021 but ADAYAR's limited appearances since still make him the one to beat. Israr may follow him home.

Ornellaia boasts an appealing pedigree and Dominic Ffrench Davis' 260,000gns purchase should not be underestimated on her racecourse bow, but experience could prove crucial when considering KEY TO COTAI's chances. The daughter of Cotai Glory built on her racecourse debut to finish second over this distance at Salisbury last month and there is likely more to come from her. Jumeirah Breeze and Lexington Belle also warrant a market check with their most recent runs in mind.

SACRED ANGEL's debut from a wide draw at Pontefract 18 days ago was full of promise and with progress on the cards, she could be the answer. Key To Cotai just about sets the standard and her limit hasn't been reached, so she's a big threat, with Ornellaia and Dubai Treasure a couple of very interesting debutantes.

The newcomers need a very close look and Ornellaia has a Group 1 entry. SACRED ANGEL is preferred among those who have run.

This can go the way of NOSTRUM, who has not been in action since running an excellent race to finish third in the Dewhurst last October. The step up in trip should bring about further improvement and he is preferred to the likes of Britannia Stakes runner-up New Endeavour, and Mostabshir, who would hold strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate start at York. Unbeaten C&D winner Imperial Emperor is another to note on the rise in grade.

IMPERIAL EMPEROR has made a big impression on both starts to date and, with more to come, he's marginally preferred to Nostrum, who looked a class act last year but doesn't have the benefit of a recent run. Embesto has looked another exciting prospect to date, so he's another one to consider in what looks a strong renewal on paper.

Dewhurst third Nostrum sets the form standard but he is taken on with smart prospect IMPERIAL EMPEROR.

TITIAN went well for a long way here on the Rowley Mile in May before weakening late on and the Spring Mile second should be much better suited by dropping back to a mile. The form of his stable is another plus, with the relatively consistent Darkness, as well as the capable Greatgadian looking best placed to chase him home. Others to note include Bodorgan, Good Karma and Soar Above.

GLENFINNAN displayed race-by-race progress in 3 starts as a juvenile, off the mark over this trip at Yarmouth on his final start in September. With his form containing plenty of substance, he could well be worth chancing to make light of an absence, with the prospect of more to come now handicapping. Fellow 3-y-o's Bodorgan and Good Karma head up the dangers, with Titian one of the older brigade to note, also.

Improvement from the 3yos is possible, with Glenfinnan one such candidate. 6yo UNITED FRONT has been competitive recently on turf.
