Classic Collection hasn't raced since finishing tailed off at Wolverhampton almost a year ago. But fitness is likely to be an issue for the Godolphin runner, who remains unexposed. Albert Bridge got back to winning ways at Newbury in August while Adventure Seeker is now 4lb lower than when only beaten a head in a better race than this at Newmarket a year ago. Royal Warranty will surely find a race before the season is out but the hat-trick seeking Sweet P needs a fast surface and won't get that here. AUSSIE ANDRE has only won on Polytrack so far but there was nothing wrong with his latest second to Richard Of Yorke at Ascot and Jeremy Noseda's gelding looks the one to beat here.
