It is hard to get away from TAZEEZ here after his comfortable conditions win over this trip at Newbury last time. John Gosden's charge goes on any ground with good in the description and has twice previously win over this course and distance. He is a thoroughly consistent performer and can land a second Group 3. Distant Memories has a bit to find at the weights with our pick but trip and ground are ideal and he too has enjoyed success at this level. Vesuve steps back up from a Listed win last time and looks the pick of the Godolphin trio, while a rejuvenated Mac Love would have to be taken seriously.
