In depth
Verdict
Beauchamp Pilot ran well from a bad draw at York last time when beaten only 3 and 3/4 lengths behind Vintage Premium and he should be very hard to beat here under his optimum conditions. Jabaar ran fairly at Royal Ascot when behind Thundering Surf and he to could go close and confirm his superiority over Averted View. Epicentre could also go close now she returns to her best trip.
