Zamjar got off the mark at Epsom last time but it’s debatable whether he will be suited by the extra furlong here, and the same goes for Champion Harbour, while Luduamf is taking a significant step up in class after winning a Leicester seller. Spirit Of Sarwan is sure to fare better at this level after struggling in the Superlative Stakes last time, but MONTATAIRE (NAP) looks like the one to beat. He’s bidding for a hat-trick, but there could be more to come and the step up to 7f is likely to be to his advantage.
