The Hannon yard won the first running of this a year ago and is doubly represented here. Richard Hughes is on board Classic Seniority, a winner over this trip at Bath before finding 7f beyond him at Kempton, and Gen I Am, who looked in need of further when runner-up over this trip at Leicester. Khawaater has become very expensive to follow and been beaten four times at short odds, including twice when odds-on, so she's hardly one to trust. Dream Approval won over the course and distance in June and returned to form in a Lingfield nursery where she led at this trip over 7f and only faded close home. That could be good enough to get her into the frame though Lingfield maiden winner L'ADDITION (NAP) ran a fine race in a much better nursery than this at Newmarket a month ago and, though her Cheveley Park entry looks a bit fanciful, she should be good enough for this.
