Chelsea Cloisters is favourite and baring in mind Wesley Wards record with his sprinters she needs to be feared. At 2/1 she is too short and I’ll taker her on with second favourite Shades Of Blue, she was impressive first time out at this venue doing her best work late on. There should be any amount of improvement and the second from that race has won twice since.
Shades Of Blue e/w 9/2

Aidan O’Brien holds the aces here with Kew Gardens the choice of Ryan Moore and Nelson. Both have been running at the highest level and the drop to group 2 will help. They have had the chances though and I’ll take a possible improver with Stream Of Stars for the form duo of Gosden and Dettori. Having only raced twice he should have plenty more to give especially over this longer trip. With John Gosden having won this race last year I’d like to think he knows what it takes to win this again. Of the O’Brien runners it could be Southern France who lays down the biggest challenge.
Stream Of Stars 7/2

Hydrangea is a worthy favourite and should go really close, but has to give weight to all her rivals as she is a group one winner. Aljazzi is another group class performer at this kind of level and will be on the premises but I prefer the chances of Wilamina. Her form is pretty solid and was impressed with her last time out a Epsom when running out a winner in a group 3. Before that she finished runner up to the smart Wuheida in the group 2 Dahlia Stakes and at around 8/1 I think she is cracking value. Hydrangea could end up being to classy for the rest but if she is not on her game I can see Wilamina going very close.
Wilamina e/w 8/1

Cracksman wins simple. For some value each way I’d chance Dubai Sheema Classic winner Hawkbill at 12/1.
Cracksman 4/6

A massive field for this handicap and six places on offer for each way bets. I like Saltonstall for Godolphin at around 12/1 and the second selection is Archetype at a price of 28/1. He has shown good progressive form and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa is a positive for the yard. Small stakes only for this race.
Saltonstall e/w 12/1 and Archetype e/w 28/1

I will be giving another chance to William Haggis’ Headway who was hugely impressive when coming from the clouds to win cosily at Lingfield. He then finished down the field in the Guineas but we have already seen how strong that form is. Society Power is much respected for the same trainer, rattling up a progressive five timer with the last two contests at class 2 level and there could be more to come. That combination of Gosden and Dettori team up again with Purser, and like Tuesdays win with Monarchs Glen also owned by Khallid Abdullah is a nice price. At 14/1 I’d be surprised if he wasn’t on the premises at the line.
Headway e/w 10/1 and Purser e/w 14/1
