Race Tip

The experienced CILICIAN (4) can take this. Produced two seconds and a midfield effort at Royal Ascot in the G2 Norfolk Stakes and arrives after a 1. 75L defeat attempting a 7f Sandown novice. Sets a high standard and could prove hard to stop. FORCE OF LIGHT (6) is with Godolphin and the pick of newcomers. Related to G1 winners Shadow Of Light and Earthlight and primed for first time. One of the main players. SHOOT YOU DOWN (15) is another debutant to watch. This expensive yearling is out of a smart mare. PRIMAL (10) might also be in the mix. Provided a good 2. 5L fourth in a 6f Kempton novice last time and should build on that.
