Shrimp Shady and Team Player have fared well in the heat of battle almost every time this season and are not passed over at all lightly. However, the two who still promise most to be ahead of their revised marks are SMALL FRY and Kirchner. Having to pin down just how unlucky Small Fry was at Goodwood and just how much Kirchner had in the tank at Ascot is not easy but slight preference is for the Joseph O'Brien-trained 5yo who was close up travelling strongly over 3f out at Goodwood but then found himself with seven or eight rivals to pass in the last 2f and managed to overtake all but one of them.[Richard Austen]
