FormscanBy John O'Riordan - July Stakes winner WHISTLEJACKET should prove difficult to beat on this step up to Group 1 level. A prominent runner who finds plenty for pressure the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt sets a strong standard for the rest to aim at. The unexposed Anglesey Stakes heroine Babouche is a serious threat for the Ger Lyons stable. Unbeaten in both starts to date, the Kodiac filly came forward from an impressive debut win at Cork to land the Group 3 contest at this course last month. York winner Shadow Army failed to live up to expectations when sent off favourite for the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot but looked back to somewhere near his best when runner-up in France recently.
