Race Tip

This looks a good opportunity for the Frankel half-brother KIKKULI (6) to get back on track having disappointed when sixth in the G1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville. Denied a nose by Haatem in the G3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot prior and can return to winning ways. WITCH HUNTER (5) goes well here and will find this more suitable than when fourth in the Listed City Plate at Chester last time. Both ENGLISH OAK (1) and TIBER FLOW (4) were disappointing in the G2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood. The former was an impressive winner of a Royal Ascot handicap prior and retains plenty of potential while the latter would hold claims on his G3 John Of Gaunt Stakes victory during June.
