BLACK VELVET BOY (5) produced a career-best display when powering 3L clear tackling 1000m at Beverley on latest appearance. Further improvement looks possible and he sets the standard. MAGIC EFFORT (2) drops markedly in grade after contesting the 1000m Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes at Ascot. Might fare much better among this company. Main danger. PAPER VIEW (4) scored at Ripon before finishing ninth attempting 1200m at Goodwood providing most recent outing. Earlier form gives him claims. Makes some appeal. SKY SECRET (1) was well held across 1200m at Goodwood. This represents an easier assignment. Not discounted.
