Verdict

FLYMETOTHESTARS is hard to overlook despite his unattractive odds. He holds a couple of these judged by his C&D victory in May and the runner-up gave the form a lift at Royal Ascot last week. James Fanshawe's runners are always worthy of closer inspection here. Higher Power chased home the Gold Cup winner last time and Lord George looks the type to improve for the trip. Godolphin took this 12 months ago and neither of their runners have the ideal profile coming into this. Natural Scenery goes well for Josephine Gordon but she needs handling with kid gloves and this may not be the ideal race to do that. Good Run has been below par lately but he could be the type to go better when fresh. Seamour went close 12 months ago and has been trained with a view to going one better this time.
  1. Flymetothestars
