The Commendatore and Robero face tougher tasks off higher marks having won their latest starts at Doncaster and Ascot respectively. But Unabated made a winning return over track and trip in this grade and York winner Al Qahwa is another consider. Mazzini and Poet's Society could both go well while Amazour has won again at this venue since winning last year’s renewal when beating MOONRAKER a neck. But the latter is 9lb lower this time round and Mick Channon’s charge can take his revenge and come out best this time.
