Race Tip

NAQEEB (2) may have finished downfield in a red-hot handicap at Royal Ascot last month however he was hampered late and shaped better than the bare result. The well-bred William Haggas trained four-year-old remains unexposed tackling staying trips and could go close down in grade with cheekpieces worn last time removed. Revisiting handicap company looks a major plus for PRYDWEN (1) who was outclassed in the G1 Ascot Gold Cup. Previous course winner KYLE OF LOCHALSH (5) cannot be ignored after finishing a good third in a 2m4f Royal Ascot handicap. SLEEPING LION (3) also warrants consideration.
