JUDICIAL has been here three times and won them all including this two years ago. He lost a shoe on his reappearance at Newmarket but was as good as ever in a short campaign last summer and can remain unbeaten on the track. Motagally is rated 5lb lower and will be receiving 7lb so is of obvious interest and he'll be better for a fair reappearance on softish ground in a Haydock Listed contest where he had Tarboosh behind. Caspian Prince has also won here and showed he retains ability with several good efforts at Meydan earlier this year but Intrinsic Bold has a mountain to climb on official figures.
