Blakeney Point ran an encouraging race at Goodwood to be 3rd. Two more to Newmarket.

Huntsmans Close returns to the scene of his near miss last year. He was second beaten a short head by Eastern Impact who went on to win a Group 3 and be placed in the July Cup. Huntsmans Close won at Windsor and was only beaten 2 lengths by Magical Memory in the Stewards Cup, having seen a bit too much daylight. His York run can be forgiven, as it was a fast 5 and he got worked up on the walk across the course. He is close to his racing weight from last year and should run well today.

Chester Street just managed to get up and win at Kempton last year. He was unbelievably green and was over the winter at home. He is just starting to learn what it is all about but will definitely come on for the run looking at his stomach. There are soe solid horses in the race and Taqdeer looks to have a decent mark considering the time he did at Chelmsford.
