Fanshawe’s hope is fit and fresh but draw a concern

What they say

Alastair Donald, racing manager to King Power Racing, owners of Lampang Whether Lampang will be favoured by this very soft going is an unknown, but he should stay seven furlongs.

Jessica Harrington, trainer of Indigo Balance

He’ll adore the soft ground. He’s got the perfect draw against the near rail in 24 and he’s dropping from a Group 2 into a handicap. I think he’s got a great chance.

Clive Cox, trainer of Tis Marvellous

I’d have preferred it not to have rained even though he won on soft at Leicester. He loves this track and comes to life at this time of year.

Adam Ryan, assistant to Kevin Ryan, trainer of Hey Jonesy

I was very pleased with him last time – the trip was a bit too far for him. He came alive at this meeting last year and I’m hoping he does so again.

Charlie Fellowes, trainer of Chiefofchiefs

He’ll have no problem with the ground, especially over six furlongs. He’s been trained with this race in mind, and ran very well in the Victoria Cup at Ascot in May.

David O’Meara, trainer of Gulliver

He’ll love the soft ground and the more attritional the race the better it is for him. He’s better when he’s off the bridle, being hunted along and tends to come good from halfway.

Eve Johnson Houghton, trainer of Punchbowl Flyer

He loves swimming and the heavier the ground, the better. He’s on a roll after wins at Windsor and Haydock and is in great form.
