Race preview
Alflaila was progressive as a three-year-old last year, winning his last three starts of the campaign in Listed/Group 3 company. As a course winner, Owen Burrows' charge must be taken seriously on his return to action, but the safe play is MY PROSPERO, who gets the class drop following his fourth in the Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot last month. Royal Champion won the Wolferton Stakes at the same meeting and comes here in good heart, while Mashhoor is on a roll and he beat a good yardstick in Al Riffa at the Curragh latest.
