Race preview
TRUE STATESMAN looked to take a big step forward when scoring at Chelmsford last time when upped to 6f for the first time. He wasn't stopping at the line there and can take this further step up in trip in his stride off top weight on his handicap debut. Double O finished last of 16 in Group 3 company at Royal Ascot but can go well in calmer waters here, while Betweenthesticks could get involved if the first-time visor has a positive effect.
