Race Tip

The Archie Watson trained AESTERIUS (1) fully obliged on debut at Bath before emerging with plenty of credit when a close fifth in the G2 Norfolk Stakes on his second outing at Royal Ascot. This represents a fair drop in grade and the son of Mehmas may return to winning ways. Newmarket (Rowley) maiden winner THE ACTOR (5) shaped better than the bare result finishing thirteenth in the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. Could prove the main danger back down in trip. SOLDIER'S HEART (4) cannot be ignored after his impressive Goodwood maiden success last time. IT AIN'T TWO (7) heads the remainder.
