“I'm heading to Mile (4.30) to finish the trip. I think URBAN LION can handle it.
“It's a competitive race but his form at Royal Ascot is impressive and the fact we haven't seen this horse for a while is intriguing.”

“My NAP will be MDAWI in the Shergar Cup Classic (3.55).
“What we know about Johnston's horses is that they can be given the opportunity to recover from a bad start.

“At 9/2 odds, I'm willing to take the risk again.”
