SIR DRAGONET not only brings the best form in the race into this, he won't care how much it rains either. On soft ground at Chester he took them apart in the Vase there, and it was a terrific run on ground that may well have been quick enough for him in the Derby. He can take this en route to a successful autumn campaign. Guaranteed may be the one to give him a race if the selection isn't quite 100% fit after a break, but he would have a question to answer if it did get very soft. Similar comments apply to the improving Buckhurst too.
