Race Tip

Course and distance winner NEVER SO BRAVE (3) landed the first renewal of the upgraded G1 City Of York Stakes here last August and ran with credit three weeks ago posting a 7L fifth in the 7f G3 Tattenham Corner Stakes at Epsom. Leading contender. SABER STRIKE (6) looks promising having won his first two outings at Redcar and on seasonal return at Newmarket attempting the 7f Listed King Charles II. Finished a not disgraced 7L sixth last week in the G3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot. Respect representing notable connections. QIRAT (4) was a surprise winner of the G1 Sussex Stakes last year. Disappointing seventh tackling the 1m1/2f G3 Diomed Stakes at Epsom earlier this month. Might feature. CHICAGO CRITIC (2) and G3 Lingfield winner ROYAL VELVET (5) both deserve consideration.
