Goodwood third Ouzo is more than capable in this grade and should be thereabouts again. He finished ahead of Major Partnership, second here subsequently, when runner-up at Sandown in July but was behind Aerion Power when the latter was fourth in the Royal Hunt Cup here in June. Alrehb is best on the all-weather and Daysofourlives didn’t shown much on his belated reappearance but Bluelight Bay produced a career-best at Sandown last month. MAN OF EDEN has never won on Turf but has run some cracking races in defeat and his luck will surely change before the season is out.
