Campanologist won two Group 1's in Germany around this time a year ago and though moderate since this could be his time of year. Indian Days has a Group 3 penalty for landing the John Porter at Newbury which makes this tough but the admirable Distant Memories escapes a penalty for his victory at this level at Windsor in August. Drunken Sailor won a Listed contest by 7l before finishing third behind Await The Dawn and Harris Tweed in the Hardwicke Stakes where Campanologist was fifth. The runner-up is improving fast and a similar level of performance would see him difficult to beat but REDWOOD, who won this a year ago before embarking on an international crusade that saw him take the Grade 1 Northern Dancer Stakes in Canada, will be better for his run behind Crystal Capella at Newmarket three weeks ago and his stable is in much better form.
