At The Races’ Declan Rix…
“I feel this race could possibly be arrange for a more in-depth, and I am with Lake Forest. He is one other three-year-old educated by William Haggas who ran a cracker within the Commonwealth Cup behind Inisherin. He acquired slightly out of his floor early however he completed off very well, I might maybe like Tom Marquand to sit down slightly nearer if he can this time, as a result of it is a sharper monitor.
“I know a lot of people have said the form has been let down in the July Cup by Inisherin last weekend but I don’t think the July course was ever going to suit that horse – there’s far more emphasis on speed compared to the stiff six at Ascot.I hope Lake Forest can go well.”

“Tempo-wise that is going to be fascinating. Regional goes to have to provide away weight to youthful rivals, however the gloss has been taken off three-year-olds in current weeks – Inisherin, Vandeek and Jasour. These type strains tie in with Elite Standing and I might wish to see him be capable of match as much as what Regional has proven.
“He was impressive in the Listed Caernarvon Stakes over this course and distance, but that doesn’t equate to Group 1 King Charles Stakes form. I’m a proven form kind of person – so it’s Regional for me.”
BetVictor’s Sam Boswell…
“I really like Elite Status here. I’m always a bit sceptical of horses when they’re coming back from a small injury but I thought the reappearance at Newbury suggested the horse has trained on. I think the drier the ground the better and given it’s not the strongest division, I’ll side with the younger horses. The additional week will be really helpful to his chances, Karl Burke is a fantastic trainer and this horse ticks a lot of boxes – I prefer him to Regional at the prices, although I could see him shortening up.”
