ALGAITH should have enough to edge this. He ran well for third in a decent handicap at Newmarket last month and his main rivals are looking to put poor runs behind them. Calling Out was well beaten at Nebwury having ran well behind Arod in the Diomed at Epsom earlier while Maftool has yet to repeat the form that saw him win a Group 3 at Meydan back in February. Baltic Knight was not at his best at Goodwood last time though is capable of going close on his day but Castlelyons and Cordite look up against it.
