FIVE TO FOLLOW THE eye-catcher from.

FIVE TO FOLLOW THE eye-catcher from the Victoria Cup at Ascot was MR MACATTACK who didn't enjoy the best of runs and wasn't given a hard time when it was obvious he wasn't going to play a part in the finish.

This was only his second start on turf after a two-month break and he must be kept on the right side in similar big handicaps.

With his stable in good form after a season in the doldrums, JIMMY STYLES ran really well on his reappearance at Ascot in a race he had won last year off a 5lb lower mark. This time he had the misfortune to come up against a sprinter who has obviously improved since joining David Nicholls and compensation awaits.

A dual winner in Dubai earlier in the year, CITY STYLE couldn't take advantage of a handy weight allowance at Haydock and probably found the ground too quick for him.

Formerly trained in America, he is now with Godolphin and is worth another chance under more suitable conditions.

Those who backed HAMISH MCGONAGALL at York should look to recouping their losses. He likes a sharp five furlongs and improved on his seasonal debut without quite managing to turn the tables on Cheveton. His stable is showing signs of a revival and his turn will come.

Overnight rain at York didn't help the chances of RIEVAULX WORLD who loves to hear his hooves rattling. He is blessed with so much natural speed and one day very soon they will not peg back this front-runner..
