Verdict

Communicator has gone up 9lb for his easy win over 1m4f here a fortnight ago. He has to come into the reckoning but MIDSUMMER SUN is just preferred. Sir Henry Cecil's colt finished behind Quest For Peace, who has since gone in again, in a Group 3 at Goodwood last month but should find this easier. Mohedian Lady is another dropping back into handicap company and has claims on her earlier fourth at Haydock while Area Fifty One had Tominator and Icon Dream behind when fifth in last Saturday's Ebor and he should go well again. Rosslyn Castle will appreciate today's slower ground and could also be thereabouts.
