Taajub hasn't won since landing last year's renewal but has slipped back down the weights of late while the veteran Judge 'n Jury won this back in 2009 and is still capable at this level. Zero Money finished third over track and trip last time with a handful of these behind including Ahtoug. The latter will have come on for the run and may reverse running but top weight DUTCH MASTERPIECE is worth sticking with in this closing event. He bids for a hat trick after winning a shade cosily at Newmarket and last season's winning partner Ryan Moore renews acquaintance.
