Verdict

John Gosden has won this twice in the last four years and the unbeaten Mahsoob will be among the favourites for this. He's shown an excellent turn of foot to win his two starts this season at Newbury and York but has gone up another 9lb in the weights and, at the likely odds, could be worth opposing with FIRST FLIGHT. James Doyle's mount was beaten less than a length at York and is 5lb better off so has every chance of turning the tables and he wasn't disgraced in the Britannia Stakes here last year. Collaboration has won all three starts this year in the style of an improving performer while Fire Fighting would surely have beaten Elbereth at Epsom had he had a clear run. Mark Johnston's charge is tough and genuine but has been raised another 4lb. The same stable also run recent winner Sennockian Star while Educate and Provenance are proven performers at this level and Mount Logan is better than he showed on his reappearance behind Collaboration at Epsom.
