Race preview
Urbino and Returning Glory finished second and fourth respectively in what looked like an above average maiden over the extended 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month and it should be no surprise to see both play a leading role here, with Ryan Moore booked on the Sir Michael Stoute runner. Corgi finished second at Newbury on his reappearance and should confirm form with the expensive 850,000-guineas colt Sharja Silk, who was down the field in 16th that day. However, a chance is taken on John Gosden's STREAM OF STARS, who looked useful on debut when second at HQ and can build on that here with the stable firing in the winners of late.
