Camborne has struggled to get his head in front since scoring at Ascot last year though he did finish ahead of a below-par Songcraft at Goodwood last month. The latter won a Listed race at York back in May but the other Godolphin representative, TENENBAUM, may prove better value. He hasn't raced since July but has every chance on last year's form in France and will relish any further cut in the ground. Tropical Beat remains in the handicapper's grip on recent evidence while the progressive Semeen steps up in class and distance after scoring at Newmarket. Pether's Moon and Shwaiman are three-year-olds who will also need to dig a bit deeper having been raised in the weights for recent victories.
