Verdict

Perhaps SOUTH DAKOTA sets the standard after his fine showing at Royal Ascot. Fourth on his debut at the Curragh, he was a gambled-on second favourite for the Listed Chesham Stakes over 7f, coming from out of the pack to take fourth place behind Nola Soul. He goes up in trip once again for this and might now be too strong for Venetian Power, who shaped up well on his Curragh debut when fourth to a trio of Ballydoyle runners, headed by Giant Sequoia. This is likely to be a tougher challenge for both Full Volume and Celtic Moon, who were winners at Bellewstown at the beginning of this month.

Top Tip: South Dakota (2)
Watch out for: Venetian Power (3)

SOUTH DAKOTA was far from disgraced in the Chesham last time and can take advantage of this drop in class. His debut form has been franked emphatically and he is bred to relish this step up in distance. Full Volume built on a promising debut when off the mark last time and looks the obvious danger up in class. However it may be Venetian Power who throws down the biggest challenge having shaped well behind a classy type on debut. The form of that race looks extremely strong and it would be no surprise to see him take a big step forward here.
