Race Tip

This involve top juveniles from Europe. ANCIENT TRUTH (1) could prove the forgotten horse providing value. The Charlie Appleby trained Dubawi colt readily won the G2 Superlative Stakes here (July) and is preferred. THE LION IN WINTER (6) will be aiming to deliver trainer Aidan O'Brien a record-extending ninth success in this contest. He quickened up smartly to defeat the subsequent G2 Royal Lodge winner in the G3 Acomb Stakes at York during August and is clearly a colt with considerable potential. Stepping up to 7f is an unknown for the supplemented SHADOW OF LIGHT (5). This G1 Middle Park Stakes winner can be taken seriously. SEAGULLS ELEVEN (4) rounds out the shortlist beaten by the main selection in the noted contest.
