AARDWOLF (NAP) was allowed to come home in his own time once beaten in a Group 3 race at Deauville last month. Mark Johnston’s colt had won by five lengths at Chester before that and is the one to beat if running up to the same level here. Madam Dancealot looks next best on her earlier win at Newbury and still finished ahead of Seduce Me when outclassed in the Princess Margaret at Ascot last time. Phijee won a novice race at Carlisle in good style and My Dear Baby landed a maiden at Wolverhampton. Both are less exposed than Kreb's Cycle and may improve past the Hannon colt.
