It helps to have an inside draw over this trip and ARCANE DANCER is on the rails so gets the vote as he won from just 2lb lower here in May. Gypsy Major has been in very good form but may struggle on the wide outside while Make On Madam, who usually runs well here, could have been better berthed. The three-year-old Weld Al Khawaneej has been racing in slightly better company and is one of the few here with scope while City Of Night has been running over a mile and not finding much in the closing stages. The veteran Shadowtime has a tremendous record on the track but was beaten in a seller last time.
