Last years winner OXTED looks sure go well with ideal conditions here (Fast ground & strong run race) ,returned to top form last time at Royal Ascot winning the King Stand stakes over 5f coming home strongly off fast pace .Will be suited returning to 6f at Newmarket on July course .Should get race run to suit, with plenty pace in the race .Stall 16 also looks positive ,with high numbers having the edge in big field sprints so far this week at Newmarket  .

 

The lightly raced Starman looks the main danger, after winning 4 from 5 starts ,including winning the G2 Duke Of York stakes in May ,takes step up in class ,though looks interesting contender open to further improvement.
