Overseas Expert Column by David Duggan Not a vintage renewal of this race with many either out of form or long absent horses appearing. EKTIHAAM started favourite for this race last season but it was a disaster as he slipped up in the early stages of the race giving todays jockey Paul Hanagan a nasty fall in the process. Roger Varian will no doubt be hoping for a much better result today but the horse has become quite disappointing of late. The problem with EKTIHAAM is he has become very head strong in his races and thus spoiling his chance by using too much energy, his most recent effort at Chester over 2,000m was really poor although he maybe did not like that very sharp track. On balance he is good and his form says so, but unless he became more retractable he is always going to be a risky proposition. Sir Michael Stoute may hold the key to this race with the somewhat frustrating TELESCOPE however, a horse that has promised much but has disappointed connections twice already this season. TELESCOPE has been runner up on his last two starts over 2,000m and appeared unable to quicken in both. He is much better judged on his really good win in the Great Voltigeur Stakes over 2,400m at York last season when he looked so promising and became a leading contender. Injury prevented that run but now returning to probably his best distance today, he is worth another chance. Kieren Fallon rides FORGOTTEN VOICE for Nicky Henderson today, he ran a couple of decent races over staying distances in and was runner up over 2,600m to MOUNT ATHOS recently at Newbury. This is a useful horse with good form but could be vulnerable in the latter stages to a horse with a turn of foot. Fallon could have probably ridden SHARESTAN in this for Godolphin, he is a useful type but certainly needs soft ground conditions to be at his best. Of the others PETHER’S MOON is a really tough and consistent horse who has been runner up over this distance on his last two starts including here at Ascot, he always gives his best and should the others underperform, he may be the beneficiary. EYE OF THE STORM is the Aidan O’Brien representative here and whilst tough and genuine seems to lack a turn of foot on all the evidence seen so far.

GB Racing Post Preview Sir Michael Stoute has been the man to follow when it comes to finding the winner of this Group 2 event and holds the key again with TELESCOPE and HILLSTAR. Preference is for the much-vaunted but often frustrating TELESCOPE, who can supply Stoute with his fifth winner of this race since 2006. This year’s renewal is no more than an average contest and TELESCOPE is one of the few runners with scope for further improvement. The son of was at his best last term in landing the Great Voltigeur Stakes at York’s Ebor meeting, finding a fine turn of foot to settle race in grand style. A small chip on his near-fore fetlock brought an abrupt end to the colt’s campaign after just three outings, but there could be a silver lining to that setback because TELESCOPE has not been over-raced and should be set for a strong campaign. Perhaps because of his restricted 2013 campaign, the four-year-old has seemed to need both of his two starts this year when beaten twice by Noble Mission at Sandown and Chester on very testing ground. The subsequent Group 1 success of that rival places the form in a better light than it appeared at the time and TELESCOPE should also be more at home on this faster surface. With everything in his favour, he can silence his doubters and show what he is really made of.

Stablemate HILLSTAR would be a good alternative for Stoute. Last year’s King Edward VII winner again reinforced his liking for this course and distance by finishing a highly creditable third in the King George. More notable efforts at the top level continued with decent runs in the Juddmonte International and . This season a step up in trip on very testing ground proved too much for him behind at Chester last time, but he will be happier facing a less taxing trip.

Richard Hannon’s PETHER’S MOON is another in with a chance of reaching the frame providing he can improve again at this level. A progressive three-year-old last term, he ended a fine campaign with a Listed win and hopes have been high that he can develop into a Group horse in 2014. Runner-up to Gospel Choir on his Newmarket return, he was again second to subsequent winner Gatewood over course and distance last time.

The globetrotting DANDINO was runner-up in this race last year before some fine efforts when second and fifth respectively in the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups, but he faces a stiff task on his seasonal debut.

Godolphin’s SHARESTAN won a poor renewal of the Brigadier Gerard and needs to prove his stamina.

He won a G3 at Sandown last month though softening ground resulted in many defections that day. Probably effective at this distance, but the ground looks the most crucial issue.

However he did win a G2 at York later in 2013. He has twice finished second to the same horse – Noble Mission – this season and that horse has enhanced the form by winning a G1 since. Telescope is the type to improve with age and also this return to 2400m could be very helpful.
