The Man returned to the fray with an impressive display over 5f at the Dante meeting, while Trefor finished a fine second at Windsor and may also feature. Vintage Clarets landed the Shergar Cup Dash in good style last time, but could only manage eighth in this last year behind the runner-up JORDAN ELECTRICS. Jim Goldie's sprinter found the smart Jm Jungle too good on that occasion and another bold bid looks likely with a couple of recent runs under his belt. Brazen Bolt and Squealer are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Jordan Electrics 2nd The Man 3rd Trefor

Italy separated a couple of Godolphin runners when finishing a creditable second in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket. That form should give Charlie Appleby a good handle on the chances of DISTANT STORM and the latter could prove the one to side with. The son of Night Of Thunder beat a couple of subsequent winners when making a winning debut in a hot maiden at Newmarket and can take this step up in class in his stride. Goodwood Galaxy's fourth in the Vintage Stakes can be marked up as he missed the break, while May Angel is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Distant Storm 2nd Italy 3rd Goodwood Galaxy

Aidan O'Brien has won the last two renewals and LAMBOURN looks set to retain the prize for the Ballydoyle handler. The Derby winner was less impressive when landing the Irish equivalent at the Curragh, but will be fresher for this and is difficult to oppose, despite a 5lb penalty. Pride Of Arras has been gelded after a couple of poor displays behind the selection. He won the Dante on the Knavesmire in fine style back in May and could launch a challenge if returning to that level, while the progressive Carmers won the Queen's Vase at Ascot and is preferred to Arabian Force.
Prediction : 1st Lambourn 2nd Pride Of Arras 3rd Carmers

This year's renewal might be short on numbers but there is no doubting the quality on show, and OMBUDSMAN is fancied to get his revenge having been touched off by Delacroix in the Eclipse last month. Although arguably worth more than the winning margin would suggest that day, the Gosdens' colt is now 3lb better off. His Prince Of Wales' triumph still lives fresh in the memory and if returning to that level of form, he could prove a tough nut to crack. Japanese raider Danon Decile was last seen defeating the classy Calandagan in the Sheema Classic so he merits plenty of respect, while the unbeaten Daryz can't be overlooked either.
Prediction : 1st Ombudsman 2nd Delacroix 3rd Danon Decile

Last year's Cesarewitch hero Alphonse Le Grande wasn't beaten far into eight in the Ascot Stakes last time out and is entitled to plenty of respect from an unchanged mark, as is Dancing In Paris, who hit the woodwork in a similar contest at Goodwood latest. That being said, a chance can be taken on TERRORISE. This is undoubtedly tougher than last month's C&D triumph, especially now 8lb higher. However, he is completely unexposed over staying trips on the Flat and may have much more in the locker.
Prediction : 1st Terrorise 2nd Alphonse Le Grande 3rd Dancing In Paris

SARAHMAE travels over from Ireland after a comfortable victory at the Curragh recently and although she has a lot more to do here, a fast-run five furlongs could see her finishing her race better than most. Luna A Inbhir Nis won here at the end of July when holding on narrowly to score by a neck but she has 5lb more here in better company which makes her task more difficult, so Galaxy Zoo is preferred as the main threat after coming from off the pace to win comfortably at Ascot.
Prediction : 1st Sarahmae 2nd Luna A Inbhir Nis 3rd Galaxy Zoo

17:20 York

Trainer Richard Fahey has won this three times in the last 10 years and he relies on UTMOST RESPECT. The son of Invincible Spirit got off the mark at the third attempt with an easy win at Hamilton, when coming from off the pace, and a mark of 87 looks fair enough. Dublin Bay is looking for his hat-trick but an added 10lb makes his life difficult, while Old Is Gold and Temple Of Athena are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Utmost Respect 2nd Dublin Bay 3rd Old Is Gold
