Burning Bright should lead and control the tempo. OXFORD BLUE (5) rises sharply in trip on the short turnaround after sticking on strongly up the inside behind the impressive Cash last week, who looks destined for black type. He should push forward under the light weight and prove hard to stop. KING OF WESSEX (9) was super late when rattling home over a trip short of his best and was only denied narrowly over 2000m two back, so this distance won’t trouble him. Expect him to blend in smoothly when they straighten. Big threat. ROYAL MILE (4) has recaptured his best form and finds another suitable staying contest. He drops in weight and will be charging late. BURNING BRIGHT (3) was no match for an impressive winner two back but was still strong in second, following a dominant win prior. He’ll push forward again and be in this for a long way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Oxford Blue on the quick back-up.
