Pressure on from word go with Savage One and Fine Touch handlebars down ahead of Tiff's Lad and Investmentstrategy. INVESTMENTSTRATEGY (2) returned for just one run last campaign, finishing 0.8L away in the Challenge Stakes at Listed level where he jumped favourite. He's trialled well in readiness for this and he has placed 2/3 fresh. Drawn ideally and if he can return in similar vein, he'll take plenty of beating. DANCE BOSS (7) just missed in a photo finish last time out when running on strongly from the tail of the field. Drawn much better this time around and can sit closer than we've seen in recent runs. CJP rides again and he can return to winning form. SAPPHIRE STREET (3) was strong from the back in the Belmont Guineas last week following a good effort in the Raconteur prior. This is easier though and she's expected to go close to winning. CELEBRITY PRINCE (6) just edged out Dance Boss last start and draws nicely down low. Can go back-to-back without surprising. SUGGESTED PLAY: Investment Strategy can win on resumption.
