LORD RANDOLPH (5) has been going around as favourite in good company at Belmont and Ascot, winning easily over 2200m at Belmont 11 days ago. Chris Parnham rides today, but he maps for a nice run in transit and the slight drop in trip shouldn't be an issue. He's the one to beat. TRUE PLAYER (4) is an improving commodity who steps out to this distance for the first time. By Playing God, he should enjoy the extra journey and he's still open to plenty of improvement being so lightly raced. Pike rides again today and he's sure to go close. HOIST THE COLOURS (3) hasn't been far away of late and comes through the same race Lord Randolph won. He continues to put up consistent ratings and he's sure to be thereabouts once again. SANTA BRAE (2) is ticking along nicely and has winning claims. SEE YA CHAMP (8) wasn't far away last start and will be closing off strongly again.
