On Friday in the Albany Stakes Cuis Ghaire for Jim Bolger catches the eye. The daughter of Galileo made a winning debut at Naas in May and followed up on the same track on June 2 in scintillating style.
Winning by 3.5l she bettered the standard for the distance by a full 2 seconds, a fantastic effort from a 2-y-o.
In the King Edward VII Stakes the John Gosden-trained Bronze Cannon is worth an interest. The trainer won this race with Plea Bargain three years ago.
Bronze Cannon´s win over Dr Fremantle on his first run of the season was made to look particularly exciting in light of the runner-up´s 4th in the Derby.
In his next race, despite a 10lb rise in the weights, he won very easily. He is clearly very progressive and should be well suited by the step up in distance.
In the Coronation Stakes (Gr 1 fillies) the French-trained Modern Look is worth considering especially if there is rain. She ran a solid race when 4th in the 1,000 Guineas but was impressive when easily winning a Gr 2 at Chantilly on June 1.
Mark Johnston - who has a great record at the Royal Meeting - may have the answer to the Queen´s Vase run over 2m. His runner Captain Webb won comfortably at Leicester and Brighton before disappointing at Sandown.
His last run at Hamilton over 1m 3f was eye-catching and the way he finished strongly suggests he is going to be well suited by the step up to 2m.
