RACE 1: SKY BET AND SYMPHONY GROUP HANDICAP

Live In The Moment Whenthedealinsdone Twilight Calls

A terrific opener to the meeting where a case can be made for the majority of the field. The vote, however, goes to LIVE IN THE MOMENT, as he made an excellent return when third at Chelmsford earlier in the month and has shown his liking for the track, being unbeaten in two starts here. Whenthedealinsdone (first) was ahead of Twilight Calls (fourth) when the pair met at Goodwood and they are likely to be in the reckoning, while others to consider include Copper Knight, Hurricane Ivor and Mondammej.

RACE 2: ACOMB STAKES (GROUP 3)

Noble Truth Dubawi Legend Ehraz

Dubawi Legend couldn't have been more impressive on his debut performance when romping home to dismiss his rivals. The Hugo Palmer yard is in fine form and he demands the utmost respect, but he may be bumping into a future Group 1 performer in NOBLE TRUTH. The 1,100,000-euro purchase ran on well to shed the maiden tag in commanding style, dismissing the reopposing Ehraz in the process. The Richard Hannon-trained juvenile has subsequently bolted up at Ascot and he may able to mount a bold challenge.

NO. HORSE NAME

RACE 3: SKY BET GREAT VOLTIGEUR STAKES (GROUP 2)

Kemari High Definition Sir Lucan

KEMARI may not be as exciting as his flashier stablemates and Hurricane Lane, but the son of Dubawi can prove himself to be a useful performer at this level. A taking winner of the Queen's Vase, he can handle the step back in trip and complete a double, despite the 3lb penalty. High Definition's run in the was too bad to be true, but he has been given plenty of time to recover and better is expected now. Proven stayer Sir Lucan can also be in the mix.

NO. HORSE NAME

1 KEMARI Successful at 1m 3f and 1m 6f on good to firm and good ground. A winner at 15-2 in the Group 2 Queen's Vase at Ascot over 1m 6f (good to firm) on his latest outing in June, beating Wordsworth by 1 1/2l. Has also won at Yarmouth this season.

RACE 4: JUDDMONTE INTERNATIONAL STAKES (GROUP 1)

Mishriff Mohaafeth Love

MISHRIFF only found the Derby winner Adayar too good when last seen in the King George and the son of Make Believe is arguably better over this shorter trip. The four-year-old is a consistent performer and he sets a decent standard for his rivals to aim at today. Things did not go Mohaafeth's way in the York Stakes over C&D last time and he can be given another chance. Love was behind the selection at Ascot and needs to improve, while Alcohol Free and Alenquer complete the shortlist.
