D'Bai came up just short by half-a-length behind The Tin Man in its first run here in Britain but has since been stepped up to seven furlongs. The race at Haydock saw D'Bai narrowly come out on top against Group Two winner, Larchmont Lad.
He has been unable to make the step up to Group One just yet with competition too tough but has held its own with Group Two company and has every chance in this one.
Billesdon Brook (Nassau- Currently 14/1 with Betway)
Close runner up in last year’s fixture Hydrangea has still not been declared for this race but if he is, he will have an almighty chance. Elsewhere, Billesdon Brook will be a good value bet.
Richard Hannon's filly shocked the racing world in the 1000 Guineas when it came out victorious despite claiming a 66/1 price tag. Since then, some questionable tactics in races has let it down but should still be considered a good bet.
Some hold-up tactics at Royal Ascot didn’t go to plan as Alpha Centauri squished the opposition with Brook just about able to get fourth. Her breeding does however suggest that she will improve with distance.
Dreamfield (Steward's Cup- currently 8/1 with Betway)
The big race of the week has no shortage of stars in it but Dreamfield will be tough to beat in handicap company.
Since no official announcement has been made yet, it would come as no surprise should John Gosden drop Dreamfield back into the King George and let him have a go at Battaash, especially considering his great run in the July Cup.
After a 600 day absence from the track, Dreamfield returned with a vengeance at Ascot in May beating Silent Echo. He then carried the shortest price for a quarter of a century into the Wokingham before being narrowly beaten by Bacchus.
