Race preview
KINGBOARD STAR kept on in good style to shed the maiden tag at the first time of asking at Bath 22 days ago. The form has been somewhat franked, with the second placed rival subsequently finishing fifth in Group 2 company at Royal Ascot, and the Ed Walker-trained juvenile gets the vote to record successive wins. Secret Strength is the only other winner in the race and demands respect after finding the Coventry too hot 11 days ago. Catch Cunningham took a step forward last time out and completes the shortlist.
