Frankie Dettori is back in action with a retained ride on Ascot Listed winner Al Thakhira while Ryan Moore stays loyal to stablemate Grey Mirage, only beaten a head by Baddilini at Lingfield last time with Sovereign Debt in third. French raider Quatorze landed a Listed event on the all-weather track at Cagnes last month while Glen Moss was narrowly beaten over 6f at Lingfield a fortnight ago with Alben Star and Intransigent behind. The latter pair finished down the field in this event last year when CHOOKIE ROYALE returned a three-length winner. Keith Dalgleish's charge has looked better than ever of late with a comfortable win at Chelmsford last week and a repeat looks on the cards. The progressive Don't Be bids for a six-timer but has plenty to find on today's terms.
