A couple of these will be sharper for recent comebacks and Magical Morning has every chance on last year’s third in the Balmoral at Ascot. But DHAHABI was having his first start since 2020 when running well in a valuable Newmarket handicap and the Godolphin colt will appreciate this drop back down to a mile. Isla Kai was a disappointing favourite at York but has claims on earlier placed efforts while both Fame And Acclaim and Repertoire were beaten in the same race at Chester and step back up in trip.
