Doctor Parkes has a lot to do at these weights but the remaining quartet look closely matched. MASAMAH was in tremendous form last summer scoring twice at York and also at Goodwood. He returned to the Sussex track for the Group 2 King George Stakes last time and ran his best race for a very long time in finishing third to Ortensia and looks set for a strong end to the campaign. He should take this though conceding 8lb to Dinkum Diamond won't be easy as Henry Candy's sprinter has been competing at a high level and is ideally suited by fast ground. Move In Time ended last season with a victory in a Listed race at Ascot and though well beaten on both starts this campaign can bounce back while Noble Storm wasn't too far behind the selection at Goodwood last time and is 8lb better off at the weights.
