STEWARDS NOTED:

HIGHLAND ROCKER:Following its run on 9/7/2021 it was reported that the horse hung left handed late on. WITHOUT REVENGE:Following its run on 5/8/2021 it was reported that the horse was never travelling.

JUST FINE Just Fine can justify favouritism. He took a big step forward to win in impressive fashion at Sandown last time after shaping well at Royal Ascot. He motored clear of his rivals, taking up the running halfway up the straight and is fancied to repeat that performance. Mr Excellency can chase him home.
