Love De Vega is reunited with winning rider Frankie Dettori while Secret Strength is running well and holds Dark Swansong on Newbury form, though will need luck in-running. King Of War has won at Chepstow and Brighton this year but MAJESTIC FIGHTER has been a bit unlucky a couple of times this season and is overdue a first win on Turf. Al Ameen is also interesting but Twelfth Knight tries a new trip and Midnight Moll is making her handicap debut, though her debut win at Newmarket has worked out really well.
