Verdict

Invisible Man is 10lb higher than when winning this12 months ago and, if the ground continues to ride on the slow side of good, may not be ideally berthed toward the stands side. Jeremy Noseda's Forgotten Voice landed a gamble in this cavalry charge two years ago so market support for proven soft ground performer Point North, partnered by Derby hero Mickael Barzalona, would have to be taken seriously but very few of this 33-strong field can be confidently ignored. Green Destiny has won his last three starts and William Haggas also saddles Sooraah, who was a close second to Saturday's Sandown winner Law Of The Range here on his latest outing. Irish raider Super Say won on his reappearance at the Curragh and promising apprentice Ben Curtis takes off a useful 3lb while Mont Agel came right back to form when second at York and Brick Red looked to be on the way back at Sandown last time and goes well here. Bronze Prince caught the eye at Doncaster 11 days ago and Start Right will be fancied to overturn Epsom running with the penalised Dance And Dance on this more conventional track, but we fancy INVINCIBLE SOUL to run well at a working man's price. Second over C&D in the Britannia Stakes last year, he's been brought along quietly this season but ran really well when third in a Listed race at Goodwood on his latest start and should be cherry-ripe now.
