Qinwan was still beaten seven lengths when runner-up at Southwell and is not really improving. War of Clans can confirm Brighton running with King's View while Miss Thoughtful may not have stayed 7f at Chelmsford. Sovereign Beauty looked useful at Goodwood in June but has gone backwards since. Mitty's Smile is tried in blinkers and Lilkian can figure near the foot of the weights but COLONEL WHITEHEAD didn’t enjoy the softer surface at Bath after winning at Chelmsford. Placed over this trip at Newmarket earlier, the top weight can figure in this under a 7lb claimer.
