9 of the last 10 winners of this race (9/10) had come from stalls 1-11. 8/10 had an Official Rating in the range 101-109, and 8/10 had already won over the distance. Shortlist = Ebt's Guard, Cerulean Bay, and Fifth Column. I go with the latter, who won his only outing on Good to date (at Sandown Park). I think we can forget his last race. The official report says, "...made headway 1f out, weakened gradually inside final furlong..." That was in The Cambridgeshire, which is over a furlong further, so that might explain the gradual weakening. I am hoping so.

11 of the last 14 winners of this race (11/14) had an Official Rating of 120 or higher. 16/19 had already won over the distance, and 29/31 had already won a Group level race (17 Group 1 winners). Shortlist is Calandagan, Economics, Ombudsman, and Delacroix. Just with the Champion Sprint Stakes, I think this will be a cracker and will be sat comfortably enjoying every yard of it.

20 of the last 23 winners of this race (20/23) had an SP in the top 3 of the betting, 17/18 had an Official Rating of 113 or higher, 20/20 had finished in the first 3 places last time out and 10/11 had already won over the distance. Shortlist = Rosallion and Fallen Angel. I think Rosallion has been a bit unlucky this season but is talented and a tryer. This will be the stable's big target for him and I think he will be spot on for this. Two wins already at Ascot and this time I think it will be the hat-trick.

15 of the last 16 winners of this race (15/16) had an Official Rating of 111 or higher, 19/21 had already won over the distance, and 15/8 had already won on the going. Shortlist: Lazzat, Montassib, Big Mojo, and No Half Measures. My choice is Lazzat, winner of the Queen Elizabeth Jubilee Stakes in June over C&D. This has all the makings of a real cracker of a race. Small bets, sit back, relax, and enjoy!
