A few of these have form in better company this year, including Icy Blue who is back on the same mark as when only beaten a neck by Talent Scout at Carlisle in June. Shamrocked is fairly treated while Lothair was only beaten a length in a Hamilton seller last month and Jupiter Fidius scored over the trip at Newcastle in May, though that was on very soft ground. WHISPERED TIMES beat a much better field over 7f here in the spring and is only 2lb higher. He will have no excuses from an inside draw and looks better than a plater. Summer Dancer often blows his chance at the start but could figure if not getting behind early on.
