Race Tip
A top-class renewal of this G2. PASSENGER (1) is a talented Sir Michael Stoute trained four-year-old who missed Royal Ascot due to a setback. Won the G2 Huxley Stakes at Chester on reappearance in May and may start making up for lost time. Main danger may come from ALFLAILA (2) who was an impressive winner of this twelve months ago. Representing trainer Owen Burrows appeared in need of the run when fourth tackling the G1 Prince Of Wales Stakes at Royal Ascot and can provide a bold defence of his crown. No doubt KING'S GAMBIT (5) proved an unlucky runner-up in the G3 Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot. Fascinating contender under the in-form Callum Shepherd. ROYAL RHYME (4) is not to be discounted.
