The first two home in last year's renewal are back for more but the winner Tres Coronas is 5lb higher and runner-up Sennockian Star is weighted to reverse that running. Gabrial's Kaka is unproven over today's longer trip but may still come out best of the Koukash-owned trio ahead of stablemate Our Gabrial and Energia Fox, who cut little ice at Meydan earlier this year. A Class 3 winner, Rydan may struggle again in this grade but Dick Doughtywylie has a shout if at his best on his first start since June. COLLABORATION defied a 10lb rise for winning at Windsor with an even more convincing display at Epsom last time. He's been raised a further 10lb but Andrew Balding's charge is making such rapid progress he still gets the nod.
