Declan Rix…

“Just with the lack of pace I wanted a straightforward horse, for me that is English Oak, he started this season rated 90, he’s now rated 108 and he even had a Royal Ascot win.

“The Ascot race arrange completely for him on the stands aspect, it seemed like he had a pacemaker however the benefit of this lad is that he’s so straight ahead however the one destructive is that he will be slowly away however he has received good tactical pace, he can be travelling sweetly within the fingers of James Doyle.”

Kate Tracey…

Witch Hunter is the one for me. He is a straight observe specialist over seven furlongs or a mile however I feel he is higher over seven.

“Last time out a Chester didn’t really suit his hold up style but he’s now back to a straight track and he did win this last year against some of the best horses at this distance at the time.”

Sam Boswell…

“I think the market has the right two at the front but I’m going to come down on the side of Kikkuli.

“This race because it modified a few years in the past, it received barely upgraded in standing, a couple of three-year-olds have tried it and run respectively with out successful. I feel he is a very well geared up three-year-old at Royal Ascot he simply received overwhelmed by Haatem – it was a fully huge run.

“Last time out at Deauville, he made a good start to the race but as the two groups converged, a horse just got in his way and the race just got a bit too lit up. He remains to me very much on my radar.”
