Going - Good to Soft.

Formscan  - Sea King showed a likeable attitude when getting up close home to justify even-money favouritism over 1m5f at Ayr, but this 4lb rise may be tough to defy so a chance is taken on SHADOW DANCE. Roger Varian's charge disappointed in the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot, but the return to a slower surface could help to get him back on track. Fox Journey heads the remainder.
