Defining is in the form of his life at the moment and he still looked ahead of the handicapper when winning at Newmarket when defeating Royal Minstrel by an easy 3/4 of a length and although he is going up the weights he will be hard to beat. Bollin Nellie was very disappointing in the Ebor last time out and she may be worth taking on again with conditions on the fast side however if the rain came she would be hard to beat. Sun Bird would also have a chance on his best form and he ran well when fourth last time out but his best form is with cut in the ground and he may be in the handicappers grip now. All Business won well over this trip at Lingfield two runs ago but did not appear to stay when tried over a longer trip last time and she could go well returned to this trip. Alberich is also one to consider despite creeping up the weights he loves the trip and ground and won well at Beverly last time out..
