Going - Good to firm, good in places, changed to Good to Firm after third race. Overcast

Formscan By Mark Nunan - British sprinters wiped the floor with the home brigade here on Oaks day last month and it’s hard to look beyond the visitors. JAMES’S DELIGHT (5) has never run over 5f and is ideally suited by this distance. He won the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes over course and distance last year and was third to July Cup winner Comanche Brave in this year’s renewal in May. The selection was just behind Big Gossey on that occasion, but is preferred on overall form to that popular Curragh regular. Big Mojo escapes a penalty for last year’s Group 1 triumph at Haydock, but he hasn’t been at the top of his game this term. %0A
