Fourth in last year’s Racing Post Trophy, RAHEEN HOUSE acquitted himself well when occupying the same finishing position in a Group 2 at Ascot behind Permian. That form gives him the beating of Listed winner Wolf Country and Brian Meehan’s colt gets the nod in the opener. John Gosden has a good recent record in this and Crowned Eagle is preferred to stablemate Face The Facts despite failing to figure in the Derby while the progressive Atty Persse competes in pattern company for the first time having returned to winning ways in the King George V handicap at Ascot with Sofia's Rock well beaten. Desert Skyline finished ahead of Ballydoyle’s Wisconsin at Ascot but the latter posted a much better effort in the Curragh Cup over 1m6f subsequently while Tamleek needs to rediscover the form that saw him finish fourth in the Chester Vase back in May.
