Verdict
Destroyer sets the standard with a mark of 79 but steps up from 6f for this. Machine Learner improved to take third at Epsom last time and can figure ahead of Aguerooo, who also attempts a longer trip for the first time. Bergholt is another with claims on his debut fourth at Sandown but ALBE BACK makes most appeal. He never threatened in a tougher maiden at Newmarket in June but the race has worked out well and Richard Hannon's colt should find this easier. By The Rules is related to winners and a newcomer to note.
