Formscan - The combination of a change of scenery and introduction of a tongue-tie and blinkers saw ROOM SERVICE make a winning stable bow at Newcastle. The five-year-old stayed on strongly to lead towards the finish and the step up to a mile could unlock further improvement. Cerro Blanco has only tasted defeat once in three outings to date, when runner-up at this level at Newmarket in May, and he rates a live threat, along with Nahraan.

Quotes on Skukuza (GB)
we ran Skukuza in the Britannia Stakes last year where he ran a great race but it really jarred him up so we couldn’t risk him on that fast ground at Ascot this year. It was a brave decision not to run when you are one of the favourites for the Hunt Cup but the plan has worked. He’s a Listed winner now so we are growing. Ryan really wanted to get a lead but he didn’t expect any pace, so he said I might have to make my own running which he did. The horse has never done that, but he did everything right and I think the further he went the further he was going to win. He likes coming back here for classic days so maybe there is something for him on Oaks day!
