More than half of this field are previous course winners including the senior runners Dungannon and Alpha Tauri. The three-year-old ARZAAK won his maiden here in April and has been a model of consistency since on Turf. He probably isn't as effective on Polytrack so his latest run at Kempton can be ignored. Piazon will do well to confirm recent course and distance running with Treaty Of Rome on worse terms but Musharrif and Crosse Fire look held on that run. Gnaad could bounce back from a poor run over 6f at York but Midnight Malibu has limited all-weather experience.
