Formscan By Gary Carson - OXFORD ROCK may appreciate dropping back to the minimum trip here. The Starspangledbanner filly has been highly tried and ran with plenty of credit when seventh in the Queen Mary on her second outing. Back in maiden company last time she just faded a touch late on when third to impressive winner Revoke over almost six furlongs at Naas. This looks like a winnable opportunity now. Flash The Cash was a few places behind the selection at Royal Ascot. She was a touch disappointing when last seen in maiden company at Naas but is nicely weighted and looks the danger. Lightning Bear shaped nicely when third on debut at Cork and is another for the shortlist.
