Verdict

The Charlie Appleby-trained Creative Force rolled around under pressure (down the centre) when weakening into the ruck in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, but he's almost certainly better than that performance (judged upon his winning Newmarket debut), and has the distinct advantage of the far rail (stall 1) on this occasion. However, his main form rival (and fellow pacesetter) is the Saeed Manana-owned RISK OF THUNDER. Although it was essentially only a modest contest that she took when scoring at Ripon (5f), she did demonstrate an ability to handle good to soft ground, and that serves to swing things narrowly in her favour.
