In depth
Verdict
Darasim, although he has been dropped a couple of pounds, it may be wise to pass him over until he shows a bit more. Last years winner First Ballot, has faced some stiff tasks since winning at the Guineas meeting back in May, but he is now only 1lb higher than his last winning mark and should go well. Big Moment has yet to get his act together this term, but he does go well here and cannot be left out of calculations, while there should be little between the in form Elgria and Hambleden. The three-year-old Scott's View has been kept busy of late and seems sure to give a good account, but preference is for the progressive Reviewer, who still looks well treated off only a 4lb higher mark, than when successful at Ascot.
