Plenty of in-form horses in this and True Night is taken to complete his hat-trick. He is still well treated, despite carrying a penalty and providing this doesn't come too soon after his win at Goodwood, he must take all the beating. He should confirm the form with Stoppes Brow on slightly worse terms and he has nothing to fear from Teofilio, who further behind. Bond Millennium bounced back to form at Beverley and must be a danger under his penalty, while It's Our Secret and Sharp Secret are others to consider.
