Race preview
FAVORITE MOON finished down the field at Royal Ascot when returning from a spell in Australia and the four-year-old may have more to offer having progressed through the handicap ranks last season. The long straight will play to his strengths and the handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him 3lb. Surrey Gold was an easy winner here in May and has similar conditions which may see him bounce back, having appeared to find conditions too quick for him in the Melrose at York. On To Victory, Sextant and Calling The Wind are others with viable claims.
