Roayh has shown little so far this year while Starwatch went close over a mile here last week but has yet to prove he stays this longer trip. Robemaker handled a fast surface last season and should be thereabouts once again but HAYLAMAN is preferred. The latter finished a close-up fifth at Epsom on last month's return to action and looks capable of landing this dropped in class. Love Your Looks has gone up another 7lb for a couple of recent seconds but Hajras is open to further improvement racing on decent ground for the first time. Dandy is another with plenty of scope on only his second start of the season but Goodwood winner Clare Island Boy will find this tougher.
