Stepney won a course and distance maiden back in April but hasn’t raced since and TOUWARI gets another chance. John Gosden’s colt returned a losing favourite at Bath last time but better is expected now handicapping for the first time. Infiniti ran poorly at Leicester having won over track and trip before that while Deep Challenger has a shout on his earlier third at Goodwood. Both Jack Of Diamonds and Gabrial The Duke won off higher marks last year and slip further down the weights while Many Waters and Our Boy could both go well if staying the longer trip.
