John Dunlop can saddle another winner on the Knavesmire in the shape of Tawqeet, with Sunday Symphony, Sea Wall and Art Eyes seen as potential dangers in this staying event. Tawqeet looked one to follow when galloping to success on fast ground at Newbury earlier in the season, and with conditions in his favour and a visor fitted, the son of Kingmambo can benefit from the step up in trip here to score. The form of that race has worked out particularly well, and he has performed with credit on unsuitable ground on each of his last two starts, including at Goodwood where he was a place behind Art Eyes, who he now meets on two-pound better terms for the length that separated them. As long as he does not drop himself out too much, he can get recent losses back. Sunday Symphony has to give weight away all round but he has first-time blinkers fitted to help him go one better than when second here in softer going in July. Roger Charlton saddles both Balance of Power and Sea Wall, with the latter preferred. He took time to get into top gear at Bath last time but was well on top at the finish and deserves a crack at this decent prize. However, they all face a tough rival in Tawqeet.
