Race preview
TRUESHAN has yet to rediscover the form he showed when winning the Prix du Cadran last September, but his most recent effort over C&D wasn't without promise and this represents another drop in grade. The ground may not be ideal for Alan King's stalwart but he may have too much for last year's Goodwood Cup winner Quickthorn, who never landed a blow on his return at Ascot in May. In-form jockey James Doyle looks to be an eye-catching booking aboard Irish raider Run For Oscar, who produced another creditable placed effort in the Queen Alexandra Stakes.
