Sandown Park Race 2 - Coral Dragon Stakes (Listed)
BILL THE BULL (2) showed up well for a long way when fourth in the Listed National Stakes over course and distance before getting off the mark at Bath. That course experience can stand him in good stead here and is well-drawn in gate two. RONSON (4) ran a stormer going down by a nose to a useful prospect in a conditions event at Beverley (1000m). He should be suited by this stiff 1000m and must be respected alongside A BEAR AFFAIR (1) who wasn't beaten far when sixth in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot last time. BINT ARCHANGE (6) disappointed tackling the G2 Queen Mary Stakes but could bounce back under Ryan Moore.

At debut, 2nd in a small field at Goodwood on June 19 over 1000m, 2 len behind Jaijai carrying 60.5kg at $11. Likely to find this out of reach.

At the latest run 11th of 27 at Ascot in the G2 Queen Mary Stakes on June 17 over 1000m, 5 len behind Victorious with 58kg at $201. The run before that from last on the turn 5th of 9 at Chantilly in the LR PRIX LA FLECHE on May 31 over 1000m, 2 len behind Tokaido carrying 55.5kg at $29. Definite winning chance. Looks a strong top-three prospect in this grade.
