Verdict
Benbatl has been running against top-class opposition over further in the main this year but was third in the Craven Stakes over this trip at Newmarket in the spring. Sovereign Debt is a credit to connections but has to concede weight all round and carrying a penalty has proved beyond him in his last two starts - he was also behind Kaspersky at Ascot in July. Ballet Concerto has a 3lb penalty for winning in this grade at Salisbury so will need more with the ground having turned in favour of MORANDO. Roger Varian’s grey made a winning reappearance at Windsor but seemed not to enjoy a sharper track at Leopardstown last month when a well-backed favourite. Flaming Spear and You're Fired may be best of the rest but are only handicappers.
