High Standing, trained by William Haggas, has a rating of 113 which means he has to find improvement to take a hand in this company. The Wokingham Handicap winner has also shown his best on fast ground.
David Wachman's Bushranger is worth considering at around 25-1.
His runs this term, one on heavy ground followed by the muddling Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (where he didn't take to a visor), mean he's not had too many chances to replicate the top-class form he showed as a juvenile. He also has an ideal draw against the rail.
The prospect of spoiling tactics, rather than soft ground, should be more worrisome for backers of John Oxx's brilliant colt SEA THE STARS, who can land a fifth Group 1 of the season in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown (3.50).
And on the same card, the John Gosden-trained RAINBOW VIEW (2.40), with the ground in her favour, is fully expected to shed her 'unlucky' tag by landing the Matron Stakes.
