bet365 Stakes (Registered As The Steventon Stakes) (Listed)
1m 2f
Going: Good to Firm
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneDerab was not disgraced when finishing eighth in the Prix du Jockey Club last time and the unexposed colt has to be respected, although a career-best will be required to win this. With that in mind, preference is for FELIX, who may have found the ground to be too fast when well backed in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot. Prior to that he had finished third to Lord North in the Dubai Turf at Meydan and a reproduction of that form today would give him a big chance. Real World was a hugely impressive winner of the Royal Hunt Cup and he has to be of some interest, while Solid Stone is another with solid form claims.
