Verdict
WHALEWEIGH STATION ran well in the Group 2 July Stakes before another good effort at Deaville last summer. Rated 98, he won't need to be anywhere near his best on his reappearance to land this. Triple Chief finished runner-up over track and trip last time and should be thereabouts along with the returning Amber Isle. Better was expected from Crafty Exit here recently and Miss Moppet is preferred while the newcomer Auf Wiedersehen is one to note in the betting.
