Estimate won the Queen's Vase at this meeting last year and returned to action with victory in the Sagaro Stakes over 2m here last month. This is by far her toughest assignment yet as she takes on last year's winner Colour Vision and third placed Saddler's Rock. 2010 winner Rite Of Passage is also back for another crack while last year's dual Cup winner, Times Up, is another high-class stayer to consider as he has the beating of both High Jinx and Simenon. A strong challenge from France is led by Top Trip, beaten only a nose in the Yorkshire Cup and just preferred to Andre Fabre's Last Train and Vadamar. The latter has a bit to find with Germany's EARL OF TINSDAL on form over middle-distances and Andreas Wohler's charge came up just short trying to give stablemate Altano 4lb over 2m at Hoppegarten on his return. The dual Group 1 winner is taken to reverse running and go close at a big price over today's marathon trip.
