Form & Verdict
Dual Tapeta winner who's been better than ever since returned to turf lately; stall 10 isn't ideal for a front-runner, though, especially dropping back from 1m2f, so he has a bit on his plate.

Got off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front.

Free-going front-runner who has won three times this year, most recently here (7.4f, good to firm) in June; suffered worrying dip in form afterwards but steadied the ship with respectable fourth at Epsom (7f, good) last week and will be fine over today's trip; no surprise if he makes a bold bid.
