Verdict
Several took part in last month’s Group 1 Queen Anne over track and trip when Lord Glitters went close with Century Dream and BEAT THE BANK in close attendance. Progressive last year with a Group 2 success at Newmarket his best effort, Andrew Balding’s charge failed to get a clear run last time and is fancied to turn the tables in this. Suedois was well beaten in the same race and collateral form from the Queen Anne gives Andre Fabre’s Trais Fluors something to find. Eminent drops back to a mile after a couple of poor efforts this year while Arod has been much travelled since winning this in 2015 and faces a tougher task than when landing a Listed race at Windsor in May.
