Going - Good, good to yielding in places. Overcast and breezy

Formscan By John O'Riordan - UNQUESTIONABLE, who went down by a short head to Bucanero Fuerte in the Railway Stakes over course and distance last month, may be able to gain revenge. On that occasion, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt travelled easily into the race before just being outbattled close home. With a more favourable draw this time, the son of Wootton Bassett can overturn that form. Coventry Stakes third Bucanero Fuerte will prove a difficult opponent as aside from natural ability, the Adrian Murray-trained colt possesses great heart. Whatever beats the Amo Racing owned runner will have deserved their win. Porta Fortuna took her career record to three from three when winning the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot. While this is tougher, the Donnacha O'Brien-trained filly is a strong contender under Oisin Murphy.
