Magical Effect won at Thirsk last time and is 4lb higher but a couple of these drop down in class. Markazi finished closer at Epsom recently but BREANSKI (NAP) just failed to catch the winner at Newmarket a week ago and looks to have strong claims back at his level racing off the same mark. Queen's Sargent had the measure of Saisons D'Or when placed over a mile at Thirsk and is also preferred to Parys Mountain while Gentle Look returns to the Turf on his first outing since November and the Godolphin colt should be winning again before long.
