Twenty One Choice may be running into a bit of form. Bravo Echo has already won at Kempton and Goodwood this year while Take A Note arrives off the back of a battling win at Chepstow. York fourth Xanthos could be well handicapped but it will be a surprise if VOYAGEOFDISCOVERY isn't in the firing-line. He was probably a bit out of his depth at Ascot last month but had been in good form in June, when finishing second at Haydock and winning at Warwick, and can bounce back here.
