John Gosden trained last year’s inaugural winner and THIRD KINGDOM looks to have the edge in this. Placed in both starts so far including behind subsequent Group 3 winner Etonian at Sandown last time, he should have the measure of these at the weights. Majd Al Arab steps back up in trip after disappointing at Goodwood but Bella Notte posted an improved effort at Haydock last month. Watch Me returned a beaten favourite at Lingfield with jockey bookings suggesting Piselli Molli is preferred to The Tide Turns of the Prescott newcomers.
