13:30 - Swiss Franc
I think he has finished in midfield in the last two runnings of this race, and has run below par on his last two starts at this course, too. That isn't ideal but I wouldn't be overly-concerned about it and he makes a quick reappearance after a fair third, on ground probably softer than ideal, at Ascot on Saturday. I wouldn't say he is particularly well treated off 94 though, and he is up against it.


14:00 - Beatrice Aurora
There are at least half a dozen in here within 4-5lb of each other on official marks by the looks of it, and Beatrice Aurora is one. Progressed from being soundly beaten off a mark of 77 first time out last season to being placed in an Italian Group 1, and you had to be satisfied with her reappearance third in the Earl Of Sefton. If she has improved as much as she did last season from her first to second start, then we are in business. But, like I said, a win for any of these wouldn't come as too great of a surprise.


14:30
My intended mount Crius doesn't run. But, unlike many Classic trials this season, this promises to have a bearing on the Derby picture - though I think everyone is up against it with Camelot, whatever happens. Aidan's Ernest Hemingway could be anything after winning by a street at Dundalk, and the likes of Mandaean and Bonfire already have Group 1 form in the book. But I must say I was very impressed with Ektihaam at Newbury. I think races like the Dante are best watched though, as there are so many question marks about each horse. I remember World Domination coming into this race as the next big thing last year, but he disappointed there and he hasn't won a race since.


15:00 - Fury
Has run to a consistently high level in his three handicap runs this season, but that has counted against him as he struggled a bit off his revised 5lb higher mark when third at Newmarket earlier in the month. But the step back to a mile may well suit him, and he is another of my rides on the day with an each way chance, if not an obvious winning one.


15:35 - North Star Boy
I rode him when he won over 5f at Ascot as a two year old and over 6f at Newmarket on his reappearance, where we really didn't figure at any point. It is possible that forcing tactics and a drop back to the minimum trip will suit, but the official ratings tell you everything you need to know here. Namely, that he is the worst in at the weights. Es Que Love, who won the race in which North Star Boy ran in at Newmarket, really impressed me that day and will take the beating here. Pearl Secret looked decent at Doncaster, too.


16:10 - Dust Whirl
There are sure to be plenty of newcomers in here primed and fancied, but Dust Whirl has run two good races and hopefully will find the extra furlong here to his advantage, too. He has the form in the book and the experience, and hopefully he can get off the mark here.
