A wide-open contest with Royal Ascot winner, Amtiyaz, the likely market leader. He toughed it out in the Copper Horse Stakes and a rise of 4lb sees him on a workable mark again. However, LIVE YOUR DREAM is an interesting prospect in that he's only had a handful of runs, hasn't been overfaced in the tasks he's been set and inhabits an appealing handicap mark. This will reveal if he's up to this level but Oisin Murphy is booked and he's worth a shot at the likely prices. Godolphin also run Global Storm, expected to be involved at the business end despite being raised to a mark of 100. He's 2lb better off here for a length with Amtiyaz on Ascot running. Prince Alex and East Asia are also noted at the foot of the weights.
