        Verdict

        Don Fernando would have solid claims if reproducing his excellent second behind Systematic at York in May but ran as though something was amiss behind the same rival at Royal Ascot and has not been seen since so now has something to prove. King's Crest has paid the price for a most profitable campaign and now looks vulnerable off his current mark and recent Doncaster winner Trouble Mountain is inconsistent so the vote goes to Khams-Alhawas. John Dunlop's charge is open to plenty of improvement having been lightly campaigned and looks likely to benefit for the return to this trip after failing to last home over 12f last time.
